Why?

Every year approximately 12,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the East of England. Only about 40% of those receive any form of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before the arrival of the emergency services. Less than 20% have a defibrillator deployed before emergency services arrive.

Whatever our age, we all have our part to play in accident prevention and understanding how to help others in a medical emergency. The EAAA Challenge Badge is here to help you learn vital CPR skills, understand what a defibrillator is and how to use one so that, one day, you might become somebody else’s life-saver.

How?

There are plenty of fun, thought-provoking, and creative activities to get involved with. Our exciting Challenge Badge tasks will not only help you learn more about first aid and accident prevention but, as you work your way through your Challenge Badge pack, you will understand more about what we do and where, our helicopters, and why our supporters are at the heart
