Thornbury Rotary Club’s Defibrillator Fundraisers
Thornbury Rotary’s Duck Races helped raise the money to buy a new defibrillator for Thornbury
Thank you to everyone who supported the Duck Races which helped us raise the necessary funds for a new Defibrillator for Oakleaze Road, Thornbury
The new defibrillator in Thornbury
Working with the Great Western Air Ambulance charity Thornbury Rotary raised the funds to install a new defibrillator in Oakleaze Road.
We’d like to thank everyone who supported this initiative
Why are Defibrillators so important?
Thornbury Rotary Club, in conjunction with Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, are raising funds to provide a Defibrillator machine for Thornbury. Every year in the UK 30,000 people suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. For every minute that passes, a person’s chance of survival goes down by 10%.
So, if someone suffers a cardiac arrest nearby, this lifesaving automated external defibrillator (AED) could save their life. Help us save lives
Thornbury Rotary Club held two big fundraisers in September to raise funds to purchase a Defibrillator to be sited at the shops in Oakleaze Road, Thornbury.
The first was at the Alveston Community Event on Saturday 2nd September with a First Prize a Family Day out at Old Down Country Park
