Today came with one of the little perks of being part of the fundraising and events team for Friends of Eastbourne Seafront! 😊
Maybe a First Aid course isn’t everyone’s idea of a fun day out, but it’s something we all hope we never need… until we do. So we jumped at the chance to refresh our knowledge with the brilliant Garry Cairns and Joe at The Crown & Anchor, Eastbourne.
It was eye-opening to learn about the latest research, especially the shocking statistic that around 40% of women are less likely to receive CPR than men because bystanders worry about exposing their chest to use a defibrillator. Awareness really can save lives.
A huge thank you to Garry and Joe for making such an informative session engaging, practical and enjoyable. We came away feeling more confident, better prepared, and with plenty of food for thought.
You never know when a little knowledge could make a life-changing difference. ❤️
