Emergency Response Essentials: Learn the Skills That Could Save a Life

A friendly, hands-on 3-hour session with BRAVE Response: recovery position, CPR, AED & choking. Donations go to the IW 2026 Fundraising Pot. Emergency Response Essentials: Learn the Skills That Could Save a Life Hosted by Inspired Women | Delivered by BRAVE Response This session is for Inspired Women members and their guests. Your instructor is Chrissy Redmond, an experienced nurse and first aid instructor from BRAVE Response, and one of our own Inspired Women members. Chrissy is kindly giving her time for free, so every donation goes straight into our fundraising pot. Would you know what to do if someone suddenly collapsed in front of you? Join us for a friendly, interactive three-hour practical emergency response awareness session designed to help you recognise an emergency, know what to do and build the confidence to act when someone needs your help. Led by Chrissy, this relaxed, supportive and hands-on session will give you the opportunity to learn and practise essential lifesaving skills. What will you learn? • Recognising an emergency: How to assess someone who has collapsed, check whether they are conscious and breathing, and decide what to do next. • Recovery position: How to safely position someone who is unconscious but breathing normally. • CPR: How to recognise cardiac arrest and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. • AED (defibrillator): How to use an automated external defibrillator safely and confidently. • Choking: How to recognise choking and respond when someone needs immediate help. No previous first aid experience is needed. This is an opportunity to ask questions, practise essential skills and learn in a welcoming environment. Our aim is simple: to help you feel more confident, prepared and able to make a difference in an emergency. Places are limited to 12 participants to ensure everyone has the opportunity to practise. Supporting a Good Cause This session is being delivered completely free of charge by BRAVE Response, with all participant donations going into the Inspired Women 2026 Fundraising Pot, split 50/50 between The People Hive (a Twickenham-based community hub for adults with learning disabilities) and The Hub Project: Young & Inspired Enterprises. Suggested charitable donation: £10–£15 per person We want this opportunity to be accessible to everyone, so please contribute whatever you feel comfortable with. No one should miss out on learning lifesaving skills because of cost. Because knowing what to do could make all the difference.
