Here at the Adventure Farm Day Nursery our preschool children and staff are going to be carrying out a sponsored 2 mile walk on the Wednesday 14th May to raise money towards getting a defibrillator for our nursery;

We will be carrying out other activities in order to raise funds too so keep your eyes open!

Having a defibrillator with in our nursery enables us to ensure the safety and well-being of both our children and staff. Although all of our staff our first aid trained It allows for us to act immediately should there be an event of a cardiac arrest with in the setting, potentially saving a life.

"The heart is controlled by an electrical impulse that makes it beat in a regular rhythm, keeping you alive. When a person has a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), the normal rhythm becomes disrupted and disorganised, which means their heart can’t beat properly and they won’t be able to breathe normally.

For every minute that someone’s in cardiac arrest without receiving CPR and having a defibrillator used on them, their chance of survival decreases by 10%. That’s why it’s so important to act immediately.

A defibrillator gives a jolt of energy to the heart, which can help restore the heart’s rhythm, and get it beating normally again. This simple piece of equipment is easy to use and doesn’t require training, but it could make the difference between life and death – so it’s important to find and use a defibrillator in an emergency."

We will be using our go fund me page, our sponsorship forms and taking in person donations; even the smallest donation will really mean the world to us!

Thank you - Team AF :)
