At Walnut Grove we have been passionate about health and community for 30 years and counting. The Lions in Portishead have done a fantastic job at getting nearly 30 defibrillators installed in and around Portishead but it has been highlighted that there is a need for one in the vicinity of the area surrounding the clinic and they have kindly agreed to support us with this fundraising project and then the subsequent maintenance will be included within their existing programme.

If someone were to suffer a cardiac arrest , research has shown that deploying a defibrillator within 3-5 minutes of collapse can improve someone's survival rate from 6% to as high as 74%!

We are aiming to raise enough money to enable 2 defibrillators to be bought and fitted at both Walnut Grove Clinic on Slade Road and at Walnut Grove Studio / Functional Fitness providing what we believe is a much needed service for the community and helping to create a network or access to life saving defibrillators for EVERYONE!

Alongside the crowdfunding page we are going to host an event whereby we get as many people involved as possible on the 25th June 2022 to accumulate the miles, in whichever way they can to be involved - run, cycle, walk, swim, row, windsurf (!) - that would take us on a journey from Land's End to John O'Groats. By road, this distance would be 874 miles so we need as much support as we can!! If you can and wish to be involved with this event - in person or virtually - please contact the clinic to find out more.
