124th St Johns Heron Cross Scouts Defibrillator Campaign

124th St Johns Heron Cross Scouts are partnering with AEDdonate to raise funds for a defibrillator. This life-saving device will be accessible to anyone in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

Why a Defibrillator for the 124th St Johns Heron Cross Scouts is So Important

Each year in the UK, over 30,000 people suffer a sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. Survival rates are low, with fewer than 1 in 10 people surviving.

In a sudden cardiac arrest, every second counts. Without immediate CPR and defibrillation, survival chances decrease by around 10% per minute. Early CPR and access to a defibrillator can significantly improve survival chances.

However, public access defibrillators are used in only around 9% of cases, highlighting the urgent need to make these life-saving devices more accessible in our communities.

Having a defibrillator at 124th St Johns Heron Cross Scouts could make a life-saving difference before emergency services arrive.
