Get Garlinge Defibrillators

Hi,

My name's Katie and I work in a shop in Garlinge. Over the last year or so we have had 2 cardiac arrests one at the bus stop outside the pharmacy and one outside the Hussar which have resulted in deaths. The most recent was Monday 28th June. It has come to light that we have no defibrillators in the Garlinge area and want to fundraise to make sure the area has got some in. They are lifesaving devices. An ambulance could potentially take 8 minutes to get to a cardiac arrest patient and if we have a defibrillator in the area anyone around could deliver that much needed shock before they arrive. This fundraising will be for the defibrillators, cabinets and upkeep of these devices to look after the people of our area.

Thank you
