Story
Giffnock is suburb/village on the outskirts of Glasgow (pop 12,000)
We have a busy shopping centre, but at the moment we do not have a public access defibrlllator.
Giffnock Community Council and Giffnock Village business initiative are jointly trying to raise money to acquire a defibrillator
140,000 people die of heart failure each year in the UK. When someone has a cardiac arrest, the first five minutes are crucial for survival so having a defibrillator handy can mean the difference between life and death.
We need to raise at least £2000 to purchase a defibrillator and house it in an easily accessible location in Giffnock.
Please help us to save lives by donating for a defibrillator.

If this is used even once, it was well worth a small donation. Well done Jack.
