Dodbrooke Community Defib

The defibrillator situated in the porch of Dodbrooke Parish Hall is a life-saving resource available to anyone in an emergency. The British Heart Foundation states that 'by having a defibrillator available to you and by training people in CPR, you can play an important part in saving more lives and showing you care. Having a public access defibrillator available in an emergency can be life saving, especially in areas where ambulance response times may be longer' (BHF, 2022).

The Dodbrooke defibrillator was used over the festive period and now requires replacement pads to be purchased and installed. As this is in the community for the community, we are seeking contributions towards the maintenance of this equipment. Replacement pads are £150 per set. We would like to purchase two sets so that, in the event of the defibrillator being used, it can be put immediately back into service. Owing to the proximity to Kingsbridge Primary School, we would also like to obtain a set of paediatric-size pads costing £132, in addition to a replacement battery. Unused, all consumables require replacement approximately every 5 years.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of St Thomas of Canterbury, Dodbrooke - DODBROOKE COMMUNITY DEFIBRILLATOR and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to us.
