February Heart Month with Right at Home Solent
Published: 28/02/2023
February 2023 - Heart Month
February has been identified as 'Heart Month', brought in by the British Heart Foundation. Right at Home UK are partners of British Heart Foundation; so this was an important month for us. Heart Month is entirely based on the effort on advocating Cardiovasuclar Health and to raise awareness of Heart Disease. This February, The British Heart Foundation wanted as many people to learn CPR as possible.
But what did Right at Home Solent do?
Junior CPR Sessions
On the 15th February 2023, during half-term week, we hosted a Junior CPR session at out Fareham Office; we invited the children and grandchildren of our office team and our CareGivers. The session was hosted by our Office Manager, Ali, who is first-aid trained, and it was great to see the kids getting involved! The British Heart Foundation have a link on their website where you can partake in some basic, online CPR training, check it out by following this link - https://revivr.bhf.org.uk/
Everyone that participated even got a certifcate!
Our British Heart Foundation Partnership
Our latest official charity partnership, which launched in April 2022, is with the British Heart Foundation.
This Partnership has two main aims:
1) Through fundraising, we intend to raise as much money as possible to support the British Heart Foundation in continuing their life-changing research and work.
2) Alongside our growing network, we aim to raise awareness on how the public can help save more lives, look after their own hearts & help prevent heart disease.
