Over the years, we have collaborated with many different organisations and charities to help raise awareness of vital issues that are directly relevant to our prehospital work. 

On average, SARS responders are mobilised to at least one patient in cardiac arrest every week. 

SARS hold regular CPR awareness sessions in schools and with other groups to help highlight the importance of bystander CPR in reducing fatal cardiac arrests.

If you are interested in SARS volunteers holding a CPR awareness session or another in-house presentation for your group, please use our online Booking Form or email admin@sars999.org.uk. We do not charge for these sessions but they are dependent on our volunteer’s availability. 

Gary Wright with the SARS responders and other emergency personnel who helped save his life
This could have happened to anyone. I feel I have been very lucky. They gave me CPR, if it was not for them nothing else would have mattered.

Gary Wright was 49 when he suffered a cardiac arrest. He was given bystander CPR by two off-duty nurses before the arrival of a SARS team. 

Immediate bystander CPR increases the chance of survival by 60%
