We Heart Right at Home's Heart Month
Published: 28/02/2023
Throughout February, our teams across the Right at Home network have been helping people in our local communities learn CPR. In partnership with the British Heart Foundation, they invited local people into their offices, to learn this life-saving skill using the BHF’s online RevivR tool. The RevivR technology means you can learn CPR in just 15 minutes, using your phone or tablet.
CPR is a vital, life-saving skill, but research shows that nearly a third of people who witness a cardiac arrest are not likely to perform CPR. It was therefore so important to us that we gave people the knowledge and confidence to perform CPR should the unfortunate situation ever arise.
From our amazing northern teams in East Lancashire, Sefton and Ilkely, down to our incredible southern offices in Solent, Exeter and North Somerset, everyone has put in a tremendous effort. We plan to continue helping as many people learn CPR as possible throughout 2023, but so far we've trained over 200 lifesavers!
