We’re taking part in a CPR-a-thon event at Morrisons in Skipton on the 17 February 2024 to raise money for AHCC's Emergency Department Appeal!

The 12-hour non-stop CPR- a-thon will take place between 8am and 8pm.

We’re joining the doctors and nurses from Airedale Hospital to learn how to give CPR whilst raising funds for the Emergency Department Appeal. The appeal aims to raise £150,000 in 2024 to help to refurbish the paediatric waiting area, the paediatric resuscitation area, and the bereavement facilities, which have become worn after being in use for nine years.

CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is an emergency procedure that consists of chest compressions to a person in cardiac arrest to keep blood pumping around the body until emergency services arrive and can save lives.

If you would like to know more about the CPR-a-thon and how to get involved, please contact the us at ahsft.charity@nhs.net or by telephone at 01535 294870 or you can sponsor our challenge on this page.
