Neighbourhood officers are partnering with the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust to host a free CPR awareness event in Peterborough, offering residents the chance to learn life-saving skills.

The event aims to equip attendees with the knowledge to recognise a cardiac arrest and perform chest compressions. Participants will have the opportunity to practice on a training manikin and learn about the function and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), which can significantly aid in saving lives.
The initiative highlights the importance of CPR skills for everyone, regardless of medical experience. The training is designed to be accessible and empowering for all community members.
