Deeside CPR

We have been into the following schools/youth groups:

Primary Schools: Logie Coldstone, Tarland, Aboyne, Kincardine O'Neil, Monymusk & Braemar
Academies: Aboyne S2, S5, S6 & after-school club
Youth Groups: Torphins Cubs, Lumphanan Beavers, Tarland Brownies & Aboyne Scouts

We also have a stall annually demonstrating CPR at the local shows: Tarland, Lumphanan, Logie Coldstone, Aboyne & Leochel Cushnie

We have also run successful monthly courses in Aboyne Community Centre September 2016 - May 2017 and from September 2017 - April 2018.

Since the inception of Deeside CPR in April 2016, and since Mid Deeside Community Trust took over the administration I estimate we have taught 340 people out of a total of 820 since December 2014. The total of 820 doesn't include those we have taught at all the shows which will probably add another 100 or so.

Valued assistance is given by personnel from our local First Responder Group – TMDCFR including the sharing of equipment.

Our aims for the future are to continue to go into the schools, introduce refresher sessions for those communities who were trained over a year ago, assist Ballater community with training, continue to help Donside when needed, encourage any groups that we hear of to have us in to teach them.
