We were busy little bee’s yesterday! 🐝

We dropped off 9 catastrophic bleed kits to local businesses in Lowestoft. These kits were donated by our funding from East Suffolk Council Enabling Communities Fund, to help the public and businesses in an emergency.

We dropped the kits off with Angela from Discover Lowestoft - who cares and looks after businesses within the district.

Here are the first 3 areas/ businesses that we dropped the kits off too.

🌿☕️ The first area was Sparrows Nest Gardens. It not only has the park and playing field but also has 2 businesses on the premises with Martello's Cafe and Giardino Cafe Bar & Restaurant. It also cover the ravine which occasionally has accidents on.

🎳 The second business was Richardson's Family Entertainment Centre Lowestoft.

⚡️ The third business was the OrbisEnergy Centre.

We are so glad that these businesses now have further equipment to support themselves and the public should a major incident occur.

We will share the rest of the 6 locations in posts to follow. 🩸

Had a lovely day out today at Feline Cat Rescue in Norwich. I went to deliver a demonstration and talk on CPR, AED’s and bleed kits. I made a new friend, or at least our manikin did 😃

Afterwards I had a tour of the fabulous facilities where a large number of cats, a few small dogs, 2 goats and an unknown number of deer live.

The staff and volunteers here do a fantastic job caring for these beautiful creatures. We are so happy to be able to support them with some free training and information.

Chris Solomons is an amazing guy allowing his experience to be used in training and his work since to raise awareness of the need for CPR and the benefits of an AED has saved countless lives over the years.
Thanks Chris and happy re-birthday.

15 Years On: Celebrating Our Living Legend

July 24, 2010 – 7:09 AM.
A man’s heart stopped.
Four friends refused to give up.
Fifteen minutes of CPR turned into fifteen years of life and counting.

Today, we celebrate Chris Solomons, our brand ambassador, our friend, and, quite simply, a living legend.

Since surviving a sudden cardiac arrest, Chris hasn’t just lived, he’s poured himself into giving back:
💚Contributing to milestones like the Guinness World Record gathering of survivors in 2018.
💚Advocating for CPR and public defibrillator access across the UK and internationally.
💚 Inspiring future medics and first responders at events, crowds gather just to meet him, with students saying, “I’ve seen your story, it’s mind-blowing.”
💚 Turning up with cakes baked by his wife, because kindness is his trademark.
💚 Saying “yes” to everything, interviews, talks, fundraisers, if it might save one more life.

We’re proud to have Chris as part of our team. He reminds us why we do what we do, because behind every defibrillator is a life, a family, a story that deserves more tomorrows.

Here’s to 15 years of second chances, and to the countless lives still to be saved.
