Saints Community Development Foundation are looking to raise funds for equipment so that we are able to deliver the immensely important HeartStart CPR training courses that teach emergency lifesaving skills to our very own community.

Individuals or groups can attend training course and learn how to:

Recognise a heart attack and a cardiac arrest.

Know what a heart attack/Cardiac arrest is.

Perform CPR .

Know how to react if a member of the public has a heart attack/cardiac arrest.

Deaths from heart disease and conditions have risen for the first time in 50 years among under-75s, figures show.

Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity are all playing a role in driving up death rates among younger people, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) said.

A new report from the charity said the historic pace of progress in reducing death rates has slowed to a near standstill, with heart and circulatory disease deaths in people under 75 now on the rise.

Millions of people are also living with undiagnosed conditions including high blood pressure and diabetes that increases their risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke.

These factors, combined with a growing population, mean that increasing numbers of people are now dying from heart and circulatory diseases before their 75th or even 65th birthdays for the first time in more than 50 years,.

Heart and circulatory diseases remain a leading cause of death in the UK, therefore we believe that we need to educate those within our community in the case of a heart attack/ cardiac arrest. it can save a life.

Your donation can help make a positive difference within our very own community, allowing us to purchase the equipment we need to set up our own HeartStart training courses.
