Restart a Heart Live 2026
Join live on Thursday 1st October for the UK’s biggest live CPR training event.
What is Restart a heart Live?
It’s a public awareness live-stream event focused on teaching lifesaving CPR skills to as many people as possible!
Particularly aimed at schools but open to all. Last year together, we reached over 130,000 viewers – a big step towards our goal of training 1 million people by 2027.
With your support, we’re building a movement where anyone, anywhere, can feel ready to save a life.
