The mayor of Wrexham has pledged to help train 1,000 people in first aid during his year in office. Councillor Jeremy Kent, who was appointed to the role in May, plans to deliver the training sessions alongside his mayoral duties and fundraising for his chosen charities, Andy’s Man Club and WeMindtheGap. Cllr Kent said he believes everyone should have a basic understanding of first aid because they never know when those skills could save a life. The training sessions will be offered free of charge to schools, community groups and other organisations across Wrexham. Cllr Kent has already kick-started his goal of training 1,000 residents by delivering sessions to pupils at St Paul’s School in Isycoed.
