With funding from NHS England (April 2023-March 2025), we were able to launch our CPR Community Network. Our programme aims to increase the survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in England, particularly in areas with the greatest health inequalities. To achieve this, we created a range of first aid resources, free awareness sessions for local communities and events, and nation-wide public awareness campaigns.
As part of our CPR Community Network, we have:
- delivered 1,793 free first aid awareness sessions to 92,641 members of the public
- created a range of accessible and translated first aid resources
- taught over 209,500 people life-saving first aid skills through Restart a Heart Day and Save a Life September
- launched our award-winning PR campaign, CPR Bra, to highlight gender disparity in receiving CPR
