Community Lifesavers is a CIC which was created to help turn bystanders into lifesavers. The aim is to help educate as many people as possible in how to react to a cardiac arrest and use one of the many defibrillators now located around the areas.
They have an aim of educating year 8 & 9 pupils in all Thanet schools as well as many community and social groups with vital lifesaving skills.
Saturday 11th February saw them host a fundraising quiz at the Ramsgate Masonic centre where a total of 7 teams competing for the honours of Top Quizzers,
The evening comprised of 10 rounds of quiz questions, the obligatory raffle and a round of “heads & Tails”
The competition was tight but the victors were the “Heart Throbs” As a side issue, the battle of the lodges was won by Union lodge who came fourth but beat Royal Navy lodge who were left holding the wooden spoons for the evening.
The event raised £635 for the group which will towards funding equipment to be used in the training of bystanders into lifesavers.
