Bring a defib to your neighbourhood
Every 9 minutes, someone in the UK has a cardiac arrest
60,000 people a year, outside hospital, 7 in 10 happen at or near home. It could be a neighbour, someone at the bus stop, a friend out walking the dog. It could be you.
Minutes decide everything
When the heart stops, brain damage starts within minutes. To have a real chance of survival, someone needs to start CPR and deliver a shock from a defibrillator within 6 minutes. An ambulance often takes longer. That gap is the difference between life and death.
A defib nearby changes the odds
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. With MyCommunityDefib you can raise funds together to buy a defib for your community, so help is there when it's needed most.
