Studio 44 fundraiser for The Tom Henson Charity

Do you want to join Studio 44 in making a difference? We are raising money in aid of The Tom Henson Charity and every donation will help.

The Tom Henson Charity recently provided both a defibrillator device and cabinet. We now want to support the amazing efforts the charity already does and raise even more funds so the charity can continue to purchase and install more defibrillators in the community.

When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, time is critical and getting treatment underway in the first few minutes dramatically increases the victim's chances of survival. The single most important piece of equipment that can help save them in those early minutes is a defibrillator which is why having them available is so important.

Daniel Harris, the founder of Studio 44, said that after watching the Christian Eriksen's collapse in the game against Finland inspired him to get a defibrillator installed. “After seeing the incident at the Euro’s, we realised the importance of having access to a tool that can save lives,” Daniel said. “This is a piece of equipment that we’ve seen is vital, especially in a setting where physical activity will be done frequently.

Daniel explains that the event came at a time where he and his team had recently learned first - hand of the importance of defibrillators. “ Two weeks before Eriksen’s collapse, we put on a first aid course for some of our staff and the local community ,” he said. “ I personally took part in the course and saw how it highlighted just how important equipment like this is. “It’s staggering how many people can be saved with its use.”
