HEARTSTART Farnham Lions would like to invite everyone in the community to come along to St Peter’s School in Wrecclesham today (October 18) to find out more about CPR and defibrillators, and see how easy it is to save a life.

Schools and community groups across the country will be taking part in the Resuscitation Council’s Restart a Heart initiative.

The event, supported by St John Ambulance, the Red Cross, the British Heart Foundation and South East Coast Ambulance Service, aims to teach as many people as possible what to do if someone suffers a cardiac arrest, including demonstrations and an opportunity to practice performing CPR.

It is an informal event so feel free to stay for 10 minutes or two hours. There will be videos, practical demonstrations and an opportunity to see how a range of defibrillators work and how easy they are to use. The event runs from 6.30pm to 9pm.
