Why it matters

What your donation keeps ready

Ambulances often travel a long way to reach us. Because our responders live and work locally, they can often be on scene within minutes, ready to start CPR and use an AED.

We are entirely volunteer-run and rely on the generosity of the public and local businesses. Your support pays for that kit, from the AED itself to replacement pads and response kits.
