Kamleish and Pete from Sutton Coldfield Neighbourhood Network Scheme enjoyed a great day of connectivity at the open day of Sutton Coldfield Fire Station yesterday, promoting the local work of the NNS and our lead organisation Age Connects West Midlands. Our table was right at the entrance of the station so it was a good opportunity to talk to families on the way into this thriving open day event with hundreds of attendees throughout the day.
The event, organised by station commander Paul Staples and his brilliant team featured many stalls and activities around emergency rescue and first aid support, especially popular with families of young children. Everything from cardiac resuscitation to photos with Fireman Sam, we had many useful conversations with parents and carers about the many services we have on offer.
Thank you to Paul and all the professional and volunteer fire, police and ambulance personnel for inviting us to this well organised and well attended event in the centre of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield.
