North East and Yorkshire

Hearts in Little Hands was set up by a group of enthusiastic and experienced staff from the Emergency Department at Airedale Hospital who volunteer in their spare time to visit local primary schools to teach the children much-needed life support skills.  Their aim is to give early grounding in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to make first aid just a part of life for children, to help to eliminate the fear surrounding delivery of first aid treatment in an emergency situation.
