Free CPR and defibrillator training is being offered to businesses in Malvern and the surrounding area. The training being offered by Heartstart Malvern, only takes 90 minutes and is very practical. During this time, participants are taught some very simple skills which could help save a life. No previous first aid experience is needed. Everyone who attends a training session will receive a certificate of attendance.
Heartstart Malvern is keen for local businesses to come forward for training as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility programme. By offering training to their staff, employers will be increasing the number of potential lifesavers in the local community. With over 80% of cardiac arrests happening at home, it is important that as many people as possible in the local community know how to do CPR and use a defibrillator.
Since its launch in 2017, Heartstart Malvern has provided its free training to over 7,000 people. The charity is actively training in the local community and in schools. It has set an ambitious target of training over 10,000 people by the end of its tenth anniversary year in 2027 and hopes that more local businesses will come forward to help achieve this target.
The Charity is currently working with Malvern Hills District Council and Community Action Malvern to extend its training provision across the whole of the Malvern Hills area.
