Last Friday Women’s Hour had an article about CPR on women and the fact that many women in cardiac arrest aren’t treated by bystanders as they are worried about exposing the chest area. This is exactly what the WI Bystanders Can Be Lifesavers campaign is about. If you want to listen to the article it starts at 8mins40secs.

Women are less likely to receive CPR, due to nervousness of touching a woman's chest.

We've made a fantastic start to our 2026 fundraising campaign to buy a new defib for Holmfirth. We've already reached our original target of £1500 so have now doubled it in the hope that we can buy more than one defib and/or provide female training dummies and maybe organise a public CPR/Defib training training session in Holmfirth.

If you would like to contribute to our fundraising efforts we have a JustGiving Page and would appreciate your support ❤️🙏

Iʼm raising money to buy a new defibrillator in the Holmfirth Area . Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.
