Around 1300 schoolchildren from across the district are already registered on the course and organisers need at least another 400 people to help them become record breakers.

Bolsover District Council is working in partnership with Shirebrook Academy, The Community Save a Life Scheme and the British Heart Foundation to attempt to train the largest number of people in emergency life support skills in one place at one time.

All participants will receive a certificate and a wrist band and be able to keep, at a ratio of around 1:2, the Mini Anne reusable resuscitation mannequins for future classroom or club training sessions, as 1000 of these have been provided free of charge by the British Heart Foundation for this event.

Derby County Football Club are also backing this event and the children will be joined in the session by Rammie, the club’s mascot!
