Community CPR Training - Learn CPR, Save a Life

Lucy from Carterton District

COMMUNITY CPR TRAINING
Weds 21st Sept 1-3pm
Learn CPR, Save a Life.

Did you know that every week on average, six people suffer a cardiac arrest somewhere in Wellington and Wairarapa.
"The best way to increase someone’s chance of surviving is for everyone in our community to know how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Almost 1 in 3 cardiac arrests happen in a public place and performing good CPR increases the chance of survival. When combined with use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), survival rates can increase to 80%."

Ka Pai Carterton is supporting the Wellington Free Ambulance to bring their Heartbeat Community CPR training course to our community on Weds 21st Sept from 1-3pm.
The course is fully funded but is limited to 30 people, so please book your spot by emailing hello@kapaicarterton.nz

Our intention with supporting the delivery of this programme is to ensure community has the capability to use defibs effectively and then map defibs already in the community, identifying and prioritising where they should be and work towards having these installed.

More info on the course available here:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
