LIFE-SAVING classes are set to start in the town.

Bromsgrove and District Heartstart has been set up to provide free cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to residents.

The programmes aim to teach simple techniques which could help you save someone's life.

Training is free and open to anyone over eight-years-old and participants will receive a certificate.

As part of Make a Difference Day the group is holding two sessions at the Spadesbourne Suite, in Burcot Lane, on October 28 from 10am to 12noon and 1pm to 3pm.
