There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in the UK each year.
The overall survival rate in the UK is less than one in ten.
Our aim is to increase the survival rate through training & the installation of 24 hour accessible defibrillators in the local community.
A defibrillator or AED and effective CPR are the only definitive treatment for casualties of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Without immediate treatment, approximately 95% of SCA's are fatal. Do you know where your nearest one is, and is it accessible now?

All Six of our Trustees have fist hand experience of how important this cause is.
I suffered a heart attack & cardiac arrest April 2022 whilst running the Blackpool Marathon, I was saved by a defibrillator. Since then I have been campaigning for 24 hour accessible
defibrillators & pushing for first aid training throughout Southport & surrounding areas. Being involved in the Charity gives me a platform to tackle these issues in our communities.
