Bring a defib to your neighbourhood
Every year, 60,000 people in the UK suffer a cardiac arrest. More than 70% happen at home.
When it does, a defib nearby can be the difference between life and death.
Why does this matter?
When someone has a cardiac arrest, their heart stops pumping blood. Brain damage starts within minutes. To have a real chance of survival, CPR and a shock from a defibrillator must be delivered within 6 minutes. But an ambulance can take 8 minutes or more to arrive - often too long.
A defibrillator (defib) can shock the heart back into rhythm. It's simple to use, the device talks you through it and it can triple the chance of survival. But most communities don't have one nearby.
