Crowdfunding for new defibrillator in Andoversford23 May 2023 (by Hayley Armstrong (admin)) |
As part of his silver Duke of Edinburgh award, one of our ex-pupils (now in Year 10) is raising money for a new defibrillator to be installed on the outside wall of the Community Church on Station Road.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a lightweight, battery-operated, portable device that delivers life-saving action if a cardiac arrest occurs by shocking the heart back into normal rhythm. They are essential in public places so immediate access is available in an emergency.
A new device costs approximately £3000 to install. If you would like to contribute towards this fundraising venture, please visit the JustGiving page below. There is also a donation bucket in Andoversford Post Office.
