A first aid themed drop-in session brought Sauchie Hall to life with more than 50 local parents and children taking part in a fun event designed to build confidence around basic first aid.

The session was run by Mums the Word CIC, a local community group dedicated to supporting families across Clackmannanshire.

With the support of Active8, the event was a relaxed, playful environment where families could learn together in a way that felt safe and friendly.

Children took part in a range of themed activities, including bandaging teddies, dressing up as doctors and nurses, messy play to ‘wash away the germs’, and even a Peppa Pig 999 call station.

These creative activities helped introduce important life skills in a way that was easily understood by the children.

The event is part of Mums the Word’s ongoing series of free weekly drop-in sessions, held every Monday from 9:30 to 11:30am at Sauchie Hall, which is on Mar Place in Sauchie.

Mums the Word CIC aims to continue to grow as a trusted group in Clackmannanshire where families can feel supported, meet other people and know they’re not alone.
