Saving lives in our communities with Defibrillators

Doing good together, in total, we have installed 45 defibrillators at stores across the region, with a further two sets to be installed in the next couple of weeks.

Many of our defibrillators have been made possible due to the remarkable fundraising efforts completed by colleagues in 2022, which saw over £40,000 raised to help with the installation of 38 defibrillators.

To date, these have, sadly, been used 42 times which shows how crucial a piece of equipment they are and the impact that they are already making within our communities.

Every day’s a school day

We have partnered with the Community Heartbeat Trust now for many years and we are pleased that we will be working with them to deliver their Community Awareness Raising Seminar (CARS) at regular times throughout the year. The virtual session will cover the basics of understanding what a cardiac arrest is and how to recognise when someone is experiencing one, explaining what a defibrillator is and how to use one alongside utilising correct chest compression technique.

Find out more about the importance of the seminars by watching our Defibrillator Awareness Session update at our Warwick Head Office.
