My mum died when I was 11, there was no help at school, I just had to get on with it. It’s a bit better now but it would be much better if there was some discussion at school. @NAFDPresident and @NAFD_UK want to get the subject on the curriculum. Please sign the petition.

A proud day for us. We’ve campaigned for schools to have access to defibrillators for over 10yrs so that families do not have to suffer the heartbreak of unnecessarily losing a child. Defibrillators save lives & lives will now be saved. This is for our Ollie 💙 @educationgovuk
