February is ❤️

Knowing CPR and how to use a defibrillator can help save a life, and having the confidence to act quickly during a cardiac arrest can make all the difference.

We’re spreading love — and the knowledge of how to start a heartbeat.

Love is more than chocolates and cards. Real love is stepping in when it matters most.

If someone’s heart stops, you can make the difference.
�📞 Call for help.
�✋ Push hard and push fast in the centre of the chest.
�⏱ Aim for 100–120 compressions per minute.

You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to act!

This February, show your community you care.
Learn CPR.
Share the message.
Be ready to save a life.

It could happen anywhere.
At home.
At school.
At work.

A neighbour.
A friend.
Your child.
Someone you love.
Or you.

Cardiac arrest doesn’t wait.
And when it happens, every second counts.

Would you know what to do?
Would the people around you?

👋 Welcome to the Ireby Community First Aid page!

We’re so glad you’re here.

This initiative was set up by local people with backgrounds in teaching and performing first aid, and with a shared passion for passing on this vital knowledge.
We believe that the more people who know what to do in an emergency, the more lives that could be saved. ❤️

As a rural community, we understand that emergency services can sometimes take longer to reach us. In those crucial moments before an ambulance arrives, knowing what to do could truly make all the difference. Having basic first aid skills gives you the confidence to step in and help when it matters most.

✨ All are welcome to attend our sessions.
You don’t need to be a resident of Ireby — if you’d like to learn life-saving skills, you’re invited!

📅 All upcoming training sessions will be posted right here on this page.

If you have any questions, are interested in joining a session, or would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Let’s build a safer, stronger, and more prepared community together. 💚

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas when it comes tomorrow.

Just a cheery reminder of where your local defibs are. If in doubt, please look up your post code on the DefibFinder - https://www.defibfinder.uk/. All our local defibs are registered. Let us know if you are planning to have a defib in 2026 and we can help you with the registration.

PLEASE CALL 999, AND GET AN AMBULANCE COMING.

The quicker you can get the defib to the patient, the better it is for them. Start CPR and send someone for the defib.

If on your own, call 999 on speaker phone and start CPR. If you can reach the defib within a few minutes, get the defib before starting CPR and talk to the 999 call handler, whilst you are doing the compressions.

Take good care everyone and wishing good tidings. Keep your eyes open for CPR and First Aid training in the new year.

🎄🎅🤶
