A two-hour workshop was held in a mosque to teach people how to save someone’s life in case of an emergency.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Associations of Erskine Road, Walthamstow hosted the ‘Learn to Save a Life’ event on behalf of Waltham Forest Faith Forum.

The course presented by Sheila and Eddy Williams of the British Heart Foundation focused on administering CPR, stemming bleeding, spotting signs of a heart attack and helping someone who is choking.
