Happitots Day Nursery is situated on a busy main road surrounded by local businesses. We are trying to help save lives by putting a defibrillator in to our community.

We are going to try and raise £2000 by doing various fund raising events.

We will really appreciate any donations.

"When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, time is of the essence. If we can get to them quickly, start CPR quickly and get a defibrillator on them quickly, we dramatically improve their chance of survival, but without these vital interventions, the victim will almost certainly die.

There is nowhere more challenging for this to happen than in the community, whether at home, at the shops or at work. Ambulance services will always strive to arrive on scene as fast as they can, but often it is too late.

With less than 1 in 10 people surviving a cardiac arrest outside of hospital, we must find alternative ways to help. The heart only stays in the right condition for defibrillation to be successful for just a few minutes, so we need that defibrillator on the victim ideally within the first 3-5 minutes if we stand a good chance of saving them.
