It was such a pleasure to attend the Dorset #999Day ceremony. Thank you so much for inviting us.

66% of people wouldn't feel confident performing CPR if someone was in a state of #cardiacarrest .

Our aim is to encourage people to have the self-belief that in a moment of need, they can act to try and help save someone’s life.
