Hi, we are FRESH. Studios, a dance and fitness studio in Ely, Cambridgeshire.
We are raising money for the installation of a defibrillator outside our studios, which can be used in the event of an emergency, either in our building or by anyone in our local community.
If someone has a cardiac arrest, a defibrillator can help restore their normal heart rhythm while you’re waiting for the emergency services to arrive.
More than 30,000 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK every year and currently, defibrillators are used in less than 1 in 20 of these cases.
A cardiac arrest is when someone’s heart stops beating. It’s a medical emergency and every second matters. Anyone can have one, and in the UK, fewer than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Chances of survival decrease by up to 10% for every minute that passes without medical help - defibrillators save lives.
We would be so very grateful if you could help contribute towards the installation of one outside our building - thank you so much!
