In the Sportlight 20th April

Petersfield Women's Institute has trained over 100 of their members in CPR and they are holding an event in Rams Walk on Saturday morning, 2 May, to increase awareness about CPR.

Anne Jones, the local WI's Community Officer tells Mike Waddington about the event, which includes a fund raising cake sale as well as a Trail for children to follow.

The central purpose is working with local charity Saving Lives Together about CPR training, especially as UK resus rates are only 1 in 10 whereas other countries reach 4 or 5 in 10. 

The WI also point out that more men than women are resuscitated because of anxiety around women's anatomy.

They are also raising funds for Saving Lives Together to buy female dummies for their training.
