This week is a great option for anybody interested in developing their own personal safety, especially for participants who are getting ready to move away from home and to go travelling, to work or to University.

RAID is a unique approach to modern self-defence that has been developed for the real world. The course combines both theory and practical elements which will improve participants own self defence knowledge/skills, as well as their confidence.

The course will include a Level 3 Outdoor First Aid course accredited by ITC, providing participants with a qualification valid for 3 years. The course will deal with Emergency First Aid and Incident Management in an outdoor environment. Participants will be involved in practical scenarios to challenge their first-aid skills.

In the evenings, participants will be involved in cooking meals for the group and enjoying various workshops and visits from local professionals, including a mindfulness workshop led by Donna Thompson.

This year we will be based at Kimbolton Scout Hut in Cambridgeshire; participants will spend the week sleeping at the local scout hut and using the indoor and outdoor facilities.
