First aid for football coaches

Volunteers help at Belfast floods

Budding football stars in Northern Ireland can now play more safely, thanks to a first aid course for coaches run by the British Red Cross and the Irish Football Association. As torrential rain caused severe flooding in Northern Ireland last weekend, Red Cross volunteers turned out in force to help local residents – and firefighters – caught up in the horrendous conditions.
