Our project is to teach basic life support (CPR) skills to people from across Irvine at events where we engage with the public and from our base at the beach park. We already do this in a limited capacity using CPR training dolls, but we would like to buy 20 sets so that we can teach bigger groups and take it into school.

Funds requested: £1000

BHF Push Call Rescue kit - £534.60 x 2 Total - £1000 (plus £69.70 contribution)

The funding will allow us to buy much needed resources for the group. This would encourage more young people attend and tackle social isolation in this rural village which has a massive effect on  mental health and contributes to stress, anxiety.

By purchasing new resources  will encourage members of the group to continue to attend as well as attracting  new members, to participate in calming activities to tackle and combat any stress and anxiety they may be feeling. 

We are looking to reduce the young peoples stress and anxiety in the locality as well as promoting diversity and social inclusion.
