Our vision – that all educational establishments and community facilities for children’s activities have defibrillators in place, are confident to manage a health emergency and that deaths from sudden cardiac arrest are prevented.
On behalf of the Trustees, volunteers and staff Emma and Lesley – we would like to wish all our supporters, schools, community groups and businesses a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Heart Safe New Year.
If a defibrillator and effective CPR
is performed within 3-5 minutes,
survival chances increase
from 6% to 74%
