No experience is necessary and everyone works at their own pace. See how a typical session goes, or watch our own video, then read all this page (it’s not too long)!
Current membership
At the time of writing we have 10-16 people of all ages turning up at a task: mostly retired/housewives/students. Some people have hardly missed a session, others come once in a while – it’s up to you, there is no pressure!
Benefits
As well as “learning on the job” additional courses run by BTCV are available, as well as clothing etc. Subject to sufficient funds these may be subsidised by the group. Courses attended so far have been leadership, first aid, risk assessment.
