Save a Life September is here. We will be promoting the campaign during this month and our our starting point is: Do you know where your nearest defibrillator (AED) is in Truro?

As part of Save a Life September, we’re encouraging everyone to take a moment to find out — because knowing could make all the difference in an emergency.

Thanks to Truro BID for providing a list on their website, you can easily find defibrillator locations across Truro City Centre and Newham. Whether you're shopping, working, or simply passing through, being defib-aware is a small step that could help save a life.

📍 Many AEDs are located in shops, public buildings, and offices — and several are accessible 24/7. 📲 Find your nearest AED here: 👉 tiny.cc/TruroAEDs

Let’s all take a moment this September to learn, share, and be prepared. 💚
