Bolsover District Council cement their ongoing support for the Derbyshire charity, Community Save a Life Scheme (CSALS) as they team up with Virtual College to create a free online course open to everyone in the UK!

Present at the official launch of the online training modules 'Prepared to Save a Life' at the House of Commons in October were Council Chairman, Councillor Tom Munro; Strategic Director, Lee Hickin and Councillors Deborah Watson and Jim Clifton.
