❤️ WORLD RESTART A HEART DAY | 16 OCTOBER 2026 ❤️

🫀 REMEMBER: ANYONE CAN SAVE A LIFE.

If someone collapses in front of you, would you know what to do?

In a cardiac arrest, every second counts. Knowing these four simple steps could make all the difference.

✅ 1. CHECK – Check if the person responds and whether they are breathing normally.

📞 2. CALL – Call 999 or 112 and ask for an ambulance. Put your phone on speaker and follow the operator’s instructions.

💪 3. COMPRESS – If the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR. Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest.

⚡ 4. SHOCK – If an AED (defibrillator) is available, use it as soon as possible. Switch it on and follow the voice prompts. It will guide you through what to do.

❤️ You don't need to be a doctor or a paramedic to make a difference. Taking action while waiting for emergency services can help save a life.

At Kilcoole Community First Responders, we want everyone to feel confident enough to act in an emergency.

📣 Share this post to help spread the word. You never know when you might need these skills.

Learn CPR. Know where your nearest defibrillator is. Be ready to save a life.

❤️ How amazing is this picture by Sophia! ❤️

Sophia is the daughter of one of our Kilcoole Community First Responders, and we absolutely love seeing the next generation getting involved and learning about CPR. 👏

It’s so important that children and young people understand from an early age just how valuable these lifesaving skills can be. You never know when you might need to help someone in an emergency, and knowing what to do can make a real difference.
We’re so proud of you, Sophia! 🥰

Amazing work! 👏❤️

✔️ And more lifesaving training tools

This equipment will help us continue training as a team and, more importantly, allow us to bring lifesaving skills into our community.

We’re always training, always learning, and always refreshing our certifications, because when an emergency happens, every second matters.

CPR and early defibrillation can save lives, and it doesn’t matter who gives it, what matters is that it happens fast. 💔➡️❤️

Our goal is simple:
👉 Empower our community
👉 Build confidence in emergencies
👉 Help save lives together

We’ll be organising community training events soon so YOU can learn CPR and how to use an AED, no experience needed, just a willingness to help.

Because the chain of survival starts with all of us. 💪
