LEARN how to save a life at a Red Cross open day next month.

The international humanitarian charity, which helps people in crisis, will be opening its doors at Hornbrook House in Chislehurst High Street from 11am to 3pm on May 12.

Sponsored by Chislehurst Rotary Club, the day provides an opportunity for people of all ages to drop in and learn some first aid techniques which could help them save a life.

The event is being held as part of celebrations for Red Cross Week, which runs from May 6 to 12.

Red Cross community-based first aid manager Alison Roche said: "Our volunteers will be out and about fundraising for Red Cross Week, so the open day will be a nice chance for people in Chislehurst to get to know our work a bit more and hopefully give us some support."
