Casualties Union - Reading Branch

We were originally formed in 1942 during World War 2 to provide acting and reacting casualties with realistic looking injuries for Civil Defence training in rescuing people from bombed out buildings. Our organisation has evolved over the decades so that we now work with the NHS, Emergency Services, First aid charities, Universities and youth groups.

Our president is Professor Sir Keith Porter who is Clinical Service Lead for Trauma Services at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, one of the leading trauma centres in the UK. The training that we receive is to the standard required by the Royal College of Surgeons as we work in most of the UK’s leading teaching hospitals and assist in their Advanced Trauma life Support courses, providing moulage special effects makeup.

If the Emergency Services are running a major accident training exercise then it is Casualties Union who are called upon to assist. If you have a training exercise where you need our help, please do get in touch with us and we’ll see what we can do for you. As a charity we cannot profit from our work so you will only ever be charged for travelling costs and a small charge for makeup. If you wish to provide an additional donation then this helps to further our research into new and developing forms of makeup that in the end helps in our delivery to our service users.
