Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) could happen to anyone, at any time, with approximately 60,000 SCAs happening within the community every year in the UK. 12 each week are under the age of 35. Only 1 in 10 survive. If effective action is taken within the first minute, this can treble the chances of survival.

This eLearning, which is also part of our free life-saving digital learning toolkit, will help you plan and respond appropriately to an SCA and incorporates:

practical information and tips

high quality immersive videos, including an interview with SCA survivor Fabrice Muamba (former professional footballer) and Martin Johnson CBE (former England rugby union captain and team manager)

hands-on interactive learning

an optional 60-second lifesaver challenge to put your knowledge and skills to the test.

It has been developed in collaboration with Resuscitation Council UK, St John Ambulance and Joe Humphries Memorial Trust, and funded by Sport England.

After completing the course you will be able to download your certificate of completion.

The course has been awarded 1/2 a CPD point by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).

What We Believe
Our work is evidence-based and grounded in these core beliefs:
Happiness Matters

People's overall wellbeing is the 'ultimate good' and everything else in our society should contribute to this.

Everything we value in life (such as health, fairness, freedom, the economy, the environment or anything else) matters because it contributes to the wellbeing of current and future generations, We want to build a world where happiness is at the heart of everything we do as individuals, communities, organisations and governments.

Our Actions make a difference

Happiness is something we do. We can change how we feel by taking small daily actions at home, at school, at work and in wider society.

We can't choose our circumstances and there will always be good and bad times, but we can learn about what makes us happy and we can take actions with the aim to create more happiness for ourselves and the people around us.

It's ok to not be ok

Happiness is not about ignoring difficult feelings. Being present with all our emotions - and feeling sad when we need to - contributes to wellbeing in the longer term.

It's helpful to look for what's good and be optimistic about life. But we also need to accept our full range of emotions and make space for difficult feelings when they arise. Trying to numb unpleasant emotions blocks pleasant ones too; accepting them helps us understand them and move on. It's helpful to talk about how we're feeling with people that we trust.

Our happiness is part of something bigger

A happier world comes from bringing happiness to others as well as ourselves.

We are all at different points on our happiness journey, from surviving to thriving.

When we're Surviving, daily life can be tough; our wellbeing is low and we lack the capacity to provide much support for others. When we're Supporting, we do a lot to help others', but we don't give enough priority to our own wellbeing.

When we're Self-caring, we find ways to feel good and take care of ourselves, but we don't necessarily make a difference for others. When we're truly Thriving, we are generally happy ourselves (despite life's ups and downs) and we are also doing meaningful things to bring happiness to others too.

That's why Action for Happiness helps people take action to boost happiness for themselves AND others.

We make the biggest difference together

Happiness is a not a solo pursuit. When we connect together it's easier to make happiness a habit, feel a sense of belonging and have a positive impact.

Getting together with others brings the inspiration and support we need to keep taking action. We help people do this in various ways including via our App community and local groups.

Happier * Kinder * Together

Why we invest in mental health

There's plenty of evidence that taking part in physical activity can have a profound and positive impact on mental wellbeing.

Being physically active can improve mood, decrease the chance of depression and anxiety and lead to a better and more balanced lifestyle.

Because of this, the government's Sporting Future strategy put mental health at its heart, and we've invested in projects across the country - from small community programmes to regional and national pilots.

To date, we've invested more than £8 million of exchequer and National Lottery funding in projects related to mental health.

How physical activity helps mental health

There are various ways that physical activity helps mental health, including:

Improved mood

Studies show that physical activity has a positive impact on our mood. One study asked people to rate their mood after a period of exercise (i.e. walking or gardening) and after inactivity (i.e. reading a book). Researchers found that people felt more awake, calmer and more content after physical activity.

For more information about the study, please see the Mental Health Foundation website.

Reduced stress

Being regularly active is shown to have a beneficial impact on alleviating stress. It can help manage stressful lifestyles and can help us make better decisions when under pressure.

Research on working adults shows that active people tend to have lower stress rates compared to those who are less active.

Increased self-esteem

Physical activity has a big impact on our self-esteem - that's how we feel about ourselves and our perceived self-worth.

This is a key indicator of mental wellbeing. People with improved self-esteem can cope better with stress and improves relationships with others.

Depression and anxiety

Exercise has been described as a "wonder drug" in preventing and managing mental health. Many GPs now prescribe physical activity for depression, either on its own or together with other treatments.

It's effective at both preventing onset of depression and managing symptoms.

Our partnerships with mental health charities

We're working with mental health charities to make a difference to the lives of people across the country.

Mind

Since 2014, we've built a powerful partnership with the national charity Mind. The collaboration is working in a variety of ways to encourage people to get active to improve their mental health.

Lack of confidence, anxiety and fatigue are just some of the barriers that prevent people living with mental health problems from getting active.

The programme is helping people that live with mental health problems to overcome the barriers they face when getting active.

More than 3,500 people with mental health problems have taken part in specially designed physical activity projects across 18 places in England.

The aim is to provide quality experiences to those wanting to get active. Friendly faces that know what it's like to live with mental health problems have played a key part in developing the programme - and their encouragement is vital in helping people make that crucial jump from curiosity to activity.

Mind's evaluation worked with over 1,000 local and digital participants to track their progress, making this the largest ever study of its kind.

Findings show that physical activity has an important role to play in building resilience, enabling and supporting mental health recovery and tackling stigma and discrimination.

Elefriends

Elefriends is an online peer support platform, which is a free and supportive space where individuals can link up with others, sharing tips, ideas and encouragement on how to get active. The site also hosts films and other content that is designed to support someone to be more active.

Sector support

Mind has created a number of guides and training resources for the physical activity and mental health sectors to support them to help those with a mental health condition be more physically active.

The Richmond Group of Charities

We've invested £300,000 of National Lottery funding to support Rethink Mental Illness through our work with the Richmond Group of Charities.

Rethink support people with more severe mental health problems, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, through their network of peer support groups.

Recognising the many benefits that being active can have on both physical and mental health, Rethink is working on a three-year project to explore how physical activity can be successfully embedded into its peer support groups.

A toolkit has been developed to support the volunteer group co-ordinators, providing them with the resources and confidence to introduce activity into their sessions.

How a £10,000 award has helped older people with dementia to move and function better thanks to the British Gymnastics Foundation's Love to Move programme.

Part of our Active Ageing investment programme, Sporting Memories supports older people living with dementia, depression and loneliness.
