In October 2024, St John Ambulance teamed up with Resuscitation Council UK, and other organisations all over the world to raise awareness of cardiac arrest and teach CPR.

In the UK, less than one in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Knowing CPR means that one day, you could help save the life of your family, friend, or stranger.

Working together and thanks to a amazing turn out, we managed to teach 9,500 people new skills, giving them the knowledge and confidence to react in emergencies needing CPR.
