Story
Did you know that Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of death (and premature death) in the UK. 1 in 5 men and 1 in 7 women die from CHD. There are 80,000 deaths from CHD in the UK each year. That equates to an average of 220 people per day.
There are around 20,000 people living in Mansfield Woodhouse, a lively friendly community.
Currently, the nearest AED to Mansfield Woodhouse is a 16 Minute round trip, by which time the casualty will probably be dead.
What is the success rate of a defibrillator?
With no compressions, the 90% confidence of successful defibrillation is reached at 6 minutes and the median time limit for success is 9.5 minutes. However, with pre-shock chest compressions, the modeled data suggest a 90% success rate at 10 minutes and a 50% rate at 14 minutes.
Every minute that goes by without CPR being administered reduces the chances of survival by 10%.
Many communities are installing public access defibrillators that are available for anybody to use prior to the arrival of the emergency services.
Please note: defibrillators are not a substitute for the emergency services so always call 999/112 in a life threatening emergency first so that help is on the way. Having defibrillators available for the public to use quickly before the arrival of the emergency services can however drastically improve the chance of survival when somebody collapses and their heart stops pumping (SCA).
If a person collapses and their heart stops pumping blood around the body they need help quickly! Without immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation the chances of survival decrease at a rate of 7-10% per minute whilst waiting for the ambulance to arrive. In most cases an ambulance will be on the scene within 8 minutes if somebody has called 999/112 but this is not always achievable due to many factors.
I believe we need one of these...if we can save even just 1 life, this has been worth it.
I aim to raise enough money to be able to:
~ buy a Defibrillator,
~ buy a heated weatherproof enclosure
~ and train up to 20 people to use this equipment.
2 Hour cPAD Awareness
This 2 hour Community Public Access Defibrillator (cPAD) awareness session teaches the essential skills required to know what to do in the event that somebody suffers a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in public.
Session content includes: How to recognise sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), calling the emergency services, how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), how to use the AED, recovery position & handover to emergency services.
Our good friends at the Park Hall Convenience Store / Post Office have very kindly agreed to house the AED at the their location, for which we are very grateful indeed for their Community Support.
Please give generously...it's for a great cause.
If any local businesses would like to offer their support...that would be amazing...please feel free to share this information on social media etc...
Thank You

All the best Darren, we also raised money for the same purpose a few years ago, after sadly one of our footballers lost his life straight after a game. We managed to raise 6k for air ambulance.x
