Help Keep Glossopdale’s Defibrillators Running – and Growing

Over the past few years, our small team of volunteers has raised almost £70,000 and installed around 50 community defibrillators across Glossopdale. Each one has the power to save a life — and thanks to your support, many already have.

But while our mission started with getting defibs on walls, the challenge now is keeping them there.

Every defibrillator costs around £500 every three years to maintain. That covers new pads, batteries, replacement parts and cabinet repairs. With 50 defibs in place, that means we’re facing around £25,000 every three years — or over £8,000 every single year — just to keep the current network running safely.

We cover:

💛 Quarterly inspections

💛 Equipment replenishment and replacement

💛 Installation at our own expense

💛 Registering and updating codes with the ambulance service for emergency access

And we’re not stopping there — we have many more defibrillators still to install across Glossopdale to ensure no community is left without access in an emergency.

Your donation will help us:

💚 Maintain and replace existing defibs

💚 Fund new installations in key locations

💚 Keep our volunteer checks and registrations running smoothly

We’re a small team trying to make a big difference — keeping hearts beating and lives being saved right here in our town.

❤️ Every donation, big or small, helps keep Glossopdale’s defibs alive.
