Back to school after Summer? Add your defib to the checklist.

As the new school year begins, please check your defibrillator and update The Circuit so we know whether it’s ready to use in an emergency.

If your defib isn’t available 24/7, make sure any opening hours, access times or planned closure periods for the term ahead are up to date too.

Before term gets busy:
• Check your defib
• Record a status check on The Circuit
• Add or update holiday periods

It could make a lifesaving difference.

Thank you for your support.

A cardiac arrest can happen anywhere at any time.

If you witness one, you must call 999 and start CPR straight away.

Perform CPR by placing your hands on the centre of the person’s chest and interlocking your fingers.

Use your body weight to push down 5 to 6cm on their chest.

Repeat this at a rate of 2 per second until the person regains consciousness or an ambulance arrives.

💚 Bradford community learns lifesaving skills💚

Over 30 community members attended a CPR and defibrillator awareness session JTI Hilton Road Masjid in Bradford.

The session was delivered by Jo from the Community Resilience team, with support from Ripaljeet Kaur, Community Engagement and Resilience Officer, and was delivered in both English and Panjabi so everyone could take part and understand the key messages.

There were lots of positive conversations, with people asking questions and learning what to do in an emergency, how CPR can help, and how to use a defibrillator safely.

Feedback after the session was really encouraging, with many people saying it helped them feel more confident and better prepared to help someone in an emergency.

YAS Charity is proud to support our Community Engagement and Community Resilience teams and the fantastic work they do in our communities.🤩

The team is now hoping to build on this work and organise a women-only session at the mosque.

A huge thank you to Jo, Ripaljeet and everyone involved in helping more people feel confident to step in and potentially save a life.🙏 🌟
