AED for Central Surbiton

Our Community Champion for Surbiton in London, Phil Harris, is running the London Marathon on the 22nd April to raise funds for a defibrillator (AED) for his local area.

Here are a few words from Phil.

“I Heart Surbiton

100,000 people a year die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), 620 of these are people under the age of 35 and 270 of these deaths happen to children within schools. If defibrillation takes place within the first three minutes of a SCA, the patient’s chances of survival increase by upwards of 80%.

Aside from the incredible difference it can make there are a few things that have happened to bring me to where I am today.

  1. My Dad, who is a Heartstart trainer, found an unconscious man at a car boot sale last year, he suddenly found himself having to give CPR until the ambulance arrived, there was no AED anywhere near where they were. It was after hearing a firsthand account of trying to keep someone alive that I realised, I needed heart-start training for myself
  2. I took an Heartstart Course to learn CPR and realised how potentially life saving they could be but I had no idea where any AEDs in the area were located.
  3. After the course I looked online to see where the nearest AED is in Surbiton and found that we don’t have a single 24/7 publicly accessible one.
    As I’ve been lucky enough to get a place in the London Marathon (22nd April) via the ballot I would use the opportunity to raise some money for an AED in Surbiton – location tbc.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like AEDdonate to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that AEDdonate will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When AEDdonate receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
