We often discuss ways to get your brand out there and remembered and with the increasing awareness of consumers on the reason why you buy from whom you buy, being a company that partners with charities and projects that do good is a win win situation that we help many businesses take full advantage of including how to feature in the press for free.

As INsiders we know how great it is to have a cheerleader in our corner (Mandie!). The past six months has been a blur of activity as alongside US based HeartCharged I’ve been prepping for the Sudden Cardiac Art Exhibition an awareness event launching this September at Kingshill House, Dursley. 

From connecting me to other INsiders working with art and in medicine to helping refine ideas for promo INsiders has been so helpful. 

Creating the nineteen works of my own for the show has kept me pretty busy in the studio (and quiet on socials!) as has co-ordinating the creation of artworks, delivery and instal of 80 artworks and 37 different artists. We have artists participating from across the world sharing their vision of a future in which we attain a 70% survival rate for out of hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest (it sits at around 10% right now).

Shocking but true.

The aim of the show is to encourage people to #FlashTheBoobs why? 

Because bystanders are too embarrassed to take women’s bra’s off and put the defibrillators on. This is leading to poorer outcomes for women, at the same time as anyone in the UK can head to a free public gallery and see boobs everywhere. By highlighting that women’s bodies to be honoured through life saving actions, not reduced to objects for gazing at, we can beat the odds and save more lives.

 

Opening hours: Monday – Friday, 10am – 3pm or when the venue is hosting a public event or by appointment, free entry.

 

Launch event Saturday 7 September 2024, 13:00-17:00, free entry.
