Officially GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Holders
Central London Alliance has set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most people performing CPR in one hour, with 434 people taking part against a target of 300.

Over two days at Tower Suites by Blue Orchid Hospitality,thousands of people came together for the Saving Lives campaign to learn CPR, refresh their existing knowledge and practise the skills needed to respond in an emergency, supported by experienced instructors from St John Ambulance, First Aid for Life and City of London Police.

Every person taking part was required to receive CPR training, so the record attempt was not simply about numbers but about giving people a practical skill that could one day make the difference between life and death.

Alongside the CPR training and the world-record attempt, participants took part in free blood pressure checks by Doorstep Pharmacy, tourniquet training by the City of London Police and other practical sessions; all hosted by our headline sponsor Blue Orchid Hospitality at their Tower Suites hotel.

As our founder and Chairman Tony Matharu said: "The number that matters most is the volume of people who have walked away from our initiative knowing how to perform CPR."

We are incredibly grateful to every partner, trainer, volunteer and participant who came together to make this possible, including headline partner Blue Orchid Hospitality and our supporting partners St John Ambulance, First Aid for Life, City of London Police, Aldgate Connect BID, Cheapside Business Alliance, Book it Please, Optimiser, The Lord Mayor's Appeal, Integrity International Trust and The Worshipful Company of Nurses.

“The record is one moment. What we created over these two days has the potential to last a lifetime.” – Nadia Perrier, Director, Central London Alliance.
