The Order of Malta is a voluntary ambulance and first aid organisation. We provide first aid training, ambulance cover at events, community and nursing services. The Athlone Unit is divided into three sections. Our Cadets aged from 10 yrs to 16 yrs, our Youths aged from 16 yrs to 18 yrs and our Seniors from 18 yrs up. All these groups are extreamely active all year round. Our Cadets and Youths learn first aid, communications and basic nursing skills from an early age.
