Teach basic CPR skills to children aged between 9 to 13 years who are in a school setting

Little LifeSavers is a charitable organisation that teaches Basic Life Support skills, including CPR, to schoolchildren across the UK. It is free of charge and available to children aged between 9 to 13 years who are in a school setting.

Teaching simple CPR skills to members of the public who volunteer with us, then asking the volunteers to practice them through teaching schoolchildren, increases both willingness and confidence to perform bystander CPR, should the need ever arise.

From the moment the heart stops beating, every minute that passes without CPR reduces a casualty’s chance of surviving by 10%. Therefore immediate, effective chest compressions give the casualty the best chance of survival.

We have volunteers from all walks of life who, like you, are motivated and understand that learning and practising these simple skills by teaching children can make a real difference. Our volunteering opportunity is open to all UK adults. 

What skills do I need?

We provide:

• Training-so volunteers can deliver the scripted session.
• The CPR manikins to teach with.
• The framework for offering your time and organising the bookings from schools for sessions.

Location

This opportunity is available Countywide.
