A FIRST aid charity is urging people to send it their real-life stories.

St John Ambulance, which has a base in Houndmills, Basingstoke, is appealing for parents, grandparents and carers to come forward with their real-life stories on how they used their first aid training to save young lives.

Training and community projects manager, Chris Cook, said real-life examples of people saving lives inspire more people to learn first aid.
