Stone Day Nursery, due to open in January 2027, is fundraising to install a publicly accessible defibrillator that will be available for anyone in the local community to use, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
To help kick-start the project, £500 has already been pledged from funds raised through Jamie and Joe’s Walking Challenge 2026, which aims to support the installation of new public-access defibrillators across Stone. We are now seeking further support from local residents, businesses, community groups and charitable organisations to help fund the remaining cost and bring this life-saving device to the area.
Every year in the UK, around 115,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are reported to ambulance services, with resuscitation attempted in approximately 43,000 cases. Sadly, fewer than 1 in 10 people survive. In a cardiac emergency, every minute without treatment significantly reduces the chance of survival, making early CPR and rapid access to a defibrillator absolutely critical.
Despite their proven effectiveness, public-access defibrillators are used in only around 9% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in England. Increasing the availability of these devices within communities can help bridge the gap between the moment a cardiac arrest occurs and the arrival of emergency services.
Once installed, the defibrillator will be registered with the local ambulance service and made available to the public 24/7. It will not replace emergency medical care, but it could provide the vital intervention needed during those crucial first few minutes while an ambulance is on its way. The earlier a defibrillator is used when appropriate, the greater the chance of survival.
Located within a growing community and serving local families, Stone Day Nursery is committed to creating a safer environment not just for the children in its care, but for residents, visitors and anyone nearby who may need urgent assistance.
By supporting this campaign, you will be helping to place life-saving equipment at the heart of the community and ensuring that, when every second counts, help is close at hand.
Together, we can help make Stone a safer place and give more people a chance of surviving a cardiac arrest.
