Our YAS annual Restart a Heart day takes place in October each year where YAS Charity funds free CPR training for thousands of secondary school children across Yorkshire.
We help fund the annual YAS Restart a Heart Day which offers CPR training for secondary school children. Since launching in 2014, 270,153 students have learnt CPR thanks to ambulance staff and volunteers who have given 44,320 hours to support the campaign (2014-2025).
YAS Charity funds the equipment and materials needed to deliver Basic Lifesaving, CPR and defibrillator training free to schools, and communities across Yorkshire.
Sadly less than 1 in 10 people survive an out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). At YAS Charity one of our core aims is to enable communities to respond immediately to a medical emergency to help increase the chances of survival and keep more families and communities together.
YAS Charity relies on the generous donations of the public, our colleagues and volunteers to fund our work across Yorkshire. By donating to YAS Charity you can help ensure we can continue to provide lifesaving training and equipment for free, as well as our work to reduce health inequalities across Yorkshire and to support the health and wellbeing of our Yorkshire Ambulance Service colleagues and volunteers.
