Restart a Heart Day

The Bluebirds are supporting Restart a Heart Day this matchday in partnership with Cardiff University healthcare students.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, including athletes and young people. It is important everyone knows the skills to recognise it, get involved and save a life. Restart a Heart Day is the annual campaign to equip thousands of people with these skills.

At half-time, we’ll be showing a video on the big screen of the basics of these lifesaving skills. We would like to encourage everyone to learn these skills at an organised session or attend a refresher session for those already taught. You can find a local course by visiting the British Heart Foundation, Calon Hearts or St John Ambulance websites.

Winners could leave with an official Cardiff City 2021/22 home shirt signed by every first team player!
