The charity works closely with Warwick-charity Evelyn’s Gift, who supports the training by arranging courses in memory of seven-year-old Evelyn who died in 2013.

So far Warwickshire Hearts has trained more than 8,000 people in the area, including children from Year 5 in schools to adults in community groups and workplaces.

St Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School supported Evelyn’s Gift by collecting toiletries during Lent for local night shelters and arranged for their children to receive CPR training from Warwickshire Hearts.

"The trainers made the session enjoyable for the children while helping them to understand the seriousness of following the correct procedure. Parents have commented that it is an important skill to learn at an early age.”

"After last year's huge effort in Kenilworth where we trained 1,400 young people in a day for Restart a Heart Day we are now working on another big push for October this year.
