if someone collapsed in front of you, or fell into water and started to drown, or a baby started choking? Dial 999 of course, but then what do you do while you wait for the emergency services to arrive?
For over one hundred years
The Royal Life Saving Society UK or Lifesavers has been training people how to respond in these life or death situations – but now we need your help
What the money
could buy:
£5: will provide a water safety video for schoolchildren
£10 : will pay for a trainer to teach basic lifesaving skills to a group of 10 people for one hour
£50: will purchase Save A Baby’s Life information for 20 carers
£500: will buy a set of four training manikins for a lifesaving class
£3000 : will fund training and a defibrillation machine for Community First Responder teams - allowing them to shock a casualty’s heart into beating normally
£20,000: will procure a rescue boat and equipment for volunteer lifeguards to save drowning victims from inland waters
