We are fundraising to purchase cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training mannequins and a training Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This equipment will be used to help deliver CPR awareness sessions to members of the public at events on both university sites, in addition to other community groups around Leicester. In fact, we hope to deliver CPR training to anyone who is willing to learn!
A community first responder is a volunteer who gives up their spare time to respond to 999 calls for the ambulance service, in addition to a traditional ambulance being dispatched. As community first responders are ordinary people within the local community, they are often much closer to incidents when the initial 999 calls are made, therefore reducing the time taken for life-saving treatment to begin.
All volunteers in the #LUCFR scheme are current students at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University. The students are reading a range subjects including Medicine, Physiotherapy and Pharmacy, around which they choose to volunteer their time to help their local community. These students have chosen to use their spare time to learn invaluable lifesaving skills, in order to help members of their community in their greatest time of need.
We are fundraising for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training mannequins for 2 reasons:

CPR Awareness Session. We will provide a 2 hour, adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation awareness session (including AED use), for up to 6 people. The session must be hosted at a location arranged by the donor, within a 5 mile radius of the University of Leicester. It may be possible to arrange for the session to be hosted at the University of Leicester - however this cannot be guaranteed. Sessions to be delivered during 2020.
