Town End View Defibrillator Fund

The community of Town End View is working alongside AEDdonate to have a defibrillator installed at their community. Due to the location and the need for a reliable power source, a solar-powered defibrillator will be installed. This advanced unit ensures the defibrillator remains operational at all times without incurring ongoing electricity costs. However, this solution comes at a higher initial cost, which includes the solar panel, installation, and setup.

Each year in the UK, over 30,000 people suffer a sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. Survival rates are low, with fewer than 1 in 10 people surviving.

In a sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts. Without immediate CPR and defibrillation, survival chances decrease by around 10% per minute. Early CPR and access to a defibrillator can significantly improve survival chances.

However, public access defibrillators are used in only around 9% of cases, highlighting the urgent need to make these life-saving devices more accessible in our communities.

If you can help by donating, supporting with a fundraising event, or taking on a virtual sponsored challenge then please contact us.

If you are interested in becoming a Community Champion yourself or are aware of any places which may benefit from having public access to a defibrillator then please contact us on 01785 472224 or email us on info@aeddonate.org.uk. We will help you manage the campaign from start to finish, providing fundraising materials, a page just like this one and in some cases helping you to help your community on its way to becoming heart safe.

*Funding is dependent on your location as to what we have available from our funding partners. Funding changes on a daily basis, call us to find out more.
