St George Company

St George Company was founded in 1904 as one of the original volunteer companies of St Andrew's, with the help of St George Co-operative Wholesale Society. 

We continue to run courses and provide First Aid cover for events in and around Glasgow and Dunbartonshire, (although no longer with any connection to the Co-op movement).

We meet on Monday evenings from 7.30pm - 9.30pm on the campus of Glasgow Caledonian University.

 

Our Members

We have over 30 volunteers in the Company.  They come from all over Glasgow and also further afield.  Several are University  students (drawn from each of the three universities in Glasgow).

Our Officers are:

Isobel Constantinou - Commandant
Sandra MacAllister - Depute Commandant


First Aid Training 

Our highly qualified Trainer/Assessors can deliver courses in:

Every October to December, we run a Standard First Aid course on a Monday evening in our meeting room but we can tailor all courses subject to the needs of attendees.

If you are interested in any of these courses and would like to check availability please contact our Secretary
