WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PURCHASE A FEMALE CPR MANNEQUIN ‼️‼️
❤️🚑 CPR SHOULD SAVE LIVES — REGARDLESS OF GENDER! 🚑❤️
Did you know that women are less likely than men to receive bystander CPR following a cardiac arrest in public?
Research has highlighted a worrying gender gap when it comes to cardiac arrest survival, and we want to help change that!
❤️ Why are women at a disadvantage?
There are several reasons why women may be less likely to receive lifesaving CPR:
🔴 Fear of inappropriate touching – Some bystanders hesitate because they are worried about touching a woman’s chest or removing clothing.
🔴 Lack of confidence – Many people have only practised CPR on male or flat-chested mannequins and may feel unsure about performing CPR on a woman.
🔴 Fear of causing harm – Concerns about breast tissue, injuries or inappropriate contact can delay lifesaving action.
🔴 Lack of awareness – Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, and every second without CPR matters.
đź’— WE WANT TO HELP CHANGE THIS! đź’—
At Swadlincote Community First Responders, we are hoping to purchase a female CPR training manikin to use at our community awareness events and CPR demonstrations.
Having a female manikin would allow us to:
âś… Demonstrate how to perform effective CPR on women.
âś… Break down embarrassment, misconceptions and barriers.
âś… Build confidence in members of the public.
âś… Raise awareness of the inequalities women face when experiencing a cardiac arrest.
âś… Encourage more people to step forward and potentially save a life.
đźš‘ Our message is simple: EVERYONE deserves the same chance of survival.
We would love the support of our local community and businesses to help us purchase this important training equipment.
Whether through a donation, sponsorship or simply sharing this post, you could help us make a real difference to help us purchase and raise greater awareness.
£250 will buy us the piece of equipment ♥️♥️
