Life-Saving Technology Arrives: New Defibrillator Installed at Specsavers
By Jill Dando News
The Donate For Defib WsM Project is pleased to announce a publicly accessible defibrillator has been installed at Specsavers Weston High Street, along with the support and installation from AMS Electrical - SouthWest.
For this installation Donate For Defib WsM Project undertook a Mini Launch!
The staff at Specsavers decided to raise funds for a publicly accessible defibrillator following an incident when a defibrillator was needed, and the one at Boots was unavailable at that time.
A big thank you to the public for contributing to the fundraising target and also a big thank you to Tom Farrand for donating the remaining funds from his London Marathon event to help with the fundraising target.
Christina Chell Deputy Project Lead of the Donate for Defib project donated the remaining funds in memory of her friend and neighbor.
The Donate For Defib WsM Project is always asked: Are defibrillators needed?
Since the project started, many of the defibrillators have been taken to incidents as advised by Ambulance control and many have been used.
Nobody knows when they are going to suffer a cardiac arrest, it can happen to people of all ages and at any time usually without warning.
Every publicly accessible defibrillator that can be installed in our community can potentially save a life!
A special thanks to everyone who was involved and stopped and spoke to the Donate For Defib WsM Project team this morning in the High Street and Andy, Defib Liaison Lead for taking the photos!
