Students will be teaching vital CPR and recovery position skills in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
ESOL Entry 3 Certificate in Science students will gather to demonstrate key life-saving skills in the canteen at the Harrow on the Hill campus, on 20 June at 11am.
Student Hibaq Abdi explained why it was so important for the college to host a charity event like this: “It’s vital to know how to save a life because everyone deserves to live. If five minutes of your time can save a life then everyone should learn how to do CPR."
There will be dedicated collection tins on display for students and teaching staff to donate to the charity.
Ameeta Jethwa, ESOL lecturer at Harrow College said: "My students chose this charity because after they got training in doing CPR and recovery position, they realised how important it is to be able to save a life. As they are science students who want to develop careers in the medical field, they are very enthusiastic about teaching other people these techniques. Being a first responder can save a life."
Founded in 1961, the British Heart Foundation helps to fund research projects around the UK that are fighting against heart disease.
Coronary heart disease is the UK’s single biggest killer. The charity’s pioneering research has helped to transform the lives of people living with heart and circulatory conditions.
