🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Happy St George’s Day from Defibrillators Save Lives 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Today is about courage, stepping forward, and doing the right thing when it matters most.

That’s exactly what every single person does when they step in to help someone in cardiac arrest.

⚡ It takes courage to start CPR
⚡ It takes courage to use a defibrillator
⚡ It takes courage to act when others hesitate

But here’s the reality…
You don’t need to be a knight. You just need to be willing.

At Defibrillators Save Lives, we’re proud to stand with our communities across Oldham, Rochdale and beyond, making sure more people have access to life-saving equipment and the confidence to use it.

Because 80% of cardiac arrests happen at home…
and the person who saves a life is most likely going to be someone just like you.

🇬🇧 Be proud
❤️ Be prepared
⚡ Be the difference

💙 Want to help us keep this going?
Every donation helps us install, maintain and protect community defibrillators, keeping them rescue-ready when they’re needed most.

Recently Kate from Kate's Training got in touch to talk about the work we each do. After some very lovely coffee dates and chatting for far too long this morning instead of getting back to work 😂 our first collaboration will be going ahead next week. I'm far more excited about this than Pippin looks in this photo! He was a good boy at our meeting though and even took us for a tour of the playing fields after breakfast! 🐾

Out today at doing first aid cover, keeping all the good folks here safe and well.

If you’re out then pop and say hello 😊

Such great news for the borough.

Well done Scott.

Today, Scott met with Lisa from Public Health at Rochdale Borough Councill following recent contact with the charity regarding a community defibrillator in Milnrow that had been identified as not being accessible when it was needed.

Might we add, the enthusiasm Lisa has about all of this is heart warming. She used to work so close to Rob the CFR back in 2017 who help her dealing with it all.

A number of years ago, Rochdale Council received national recognition for the fantastic campaigns they ran around community defibrillators. Like many organisations though, as teams and priorities change over time, some of that momentum can unfortunately slow.

Following our initial discussions with the council, work has already started behind the scenes to map out where their defibrillators are located across the borough, identify units that are out of date, and highlight those that need maintenance or replacement.

Today’s meeting was a really positive step forward. Scott and Lisa spent time discussing current best practice, how things have evolved over the years, and how we can start to shape a practical plan moving forward.

Of course, there are a number of things to consider.
💙 Budgets need to be reviewed
⚡ Locations need assessing to ensure the best coverage
🩸 Different departments and partners need to be involved

This will take a little time, but the direction of travel is clear.

With Defibrillators Save Lives advising and supporting the council, the aim is to begin bringing defibrillators and emergency bleed kits back online across the borough. Alongside this, there will be renewed campaigns encouraging businesses, organisations and private guardians to review their own responsibilities in maintaining accessible, working equipment. Schools will also play a role through awareness shared in newsletters and community engagement.

There’s a lot of work ahead, but today’s meeting showed real intent.

Big things are starting to move at Rochdale Council, and Defibrillators Save Lives are proud to be supporting, advising and campaigning to help make these life-saving changes happen across the borough.
