Fownhope New Memorial Hall Defibrillator Fundraising Campaign

Fownhope New Memorial Hall Defibrillator Fundraising Campaign

Fownhope New Memorial Hall are partnering with AEDdonate to raise funds for one external defibrillator in their hall. This life-saving device will be accessible to anyone in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

Why a Defibrillator at Fownhope New Memorial Hall is So Important
Each year in the UK, over 30,000 people suffer a Sudden Cardiac Arrest outside of a hospital. Tragically, 620 of these are under the age of 35, and 270 are children, often while at school, in public places, or at events.

Having a defibrillator on-site, ready to use within the first 3 minutes of an SCA, can increase survival chances to over 80%. That’s why having a defibrillator at Fownhope New Memorial Hall could be the difference between life and death.

How a Defibrillator Will Help the community 

Once installed, the defibrillator will be registered with the local ambulance trust and available for 24/7 public use.

This doesn’t replace emergency services. Instead, it provides immediate, potentially life-saving intervention while the ambulance is enroute. The quicker the shock is delivered, the greater the chance of survival.
