Community Lifesavers - CPR & defibrillator Training

Free training in CPR and defibrillators

Community Lifesavers CIC is a Kent-based social action not-for-profit project run by trained volunteers.

We deliver free training in CPR and using defibrillators to Year 7 students in schools, the community, clubs, and businesses. Proudly turning bystanders into lifesavers.

80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in the home. With immediate action bystanders can triple the chances of saving a life.

Only 1 in 10 out of hospital cardiac arrests survive in the UK; in Norway 4 in 10 survive. A factor for this is young people learning these lifesaving skills at school.

  • Train Year 7 students in quality CPR and defibrillator use.

  • Aid the facilitation of defibrillators in the community and provide support concerning installation, training, and maintenance of defibrillators.
