The everyday people SAVING LIVES

With NHS Charities Together's support, volunteers are saving lives in emergencies where every second is critical

- 

Around nine in 10 people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside hospital will not survive*. CPR and defibrillation can save lives, but speed and confidence are vital.

Working with UK ambulance charities, including South Western Ambulance Charity, NHS Charities Together supports the funding of Community First Responders by offering training, equipment and response cars, to help people in need as quickly as possible. These volunteers save lives and help ease pressure on the NHS.
