Cerebral Palsy Midlands has installed a publicly accessible defibrillator and bleed control kit on Victoria Road, supplied and installed by Turtle Medical 💚
Money raised through their fundraising events supports the adults they look after, and this project came out of the same fundraising. See the full story, link in the comments.
"Sometimes that money enables us to provide activities and opportunities for our citizens. Sometimes it helps us improve our centre and accessibility. And sometimes, as with this project, it allows us to invest in something that can benefit our whole community," says Sarah Lilly, Deputy Manager at Cerebral Palsy Midlands.
"We'd like to thank all of our supporters and Turtle Medical who helped us choose the right defibrillator for our community. There are a variety to choose from but with their advice, the selection process, adding a bleed kit and the installation was very straightforward."
Mike Dowson, founder and Managing Director of Turtle Medical, added: "We love this. The community has supported Cerebral Palsy Midlands and now Cerebral Palsy Midlands is able to give back and say thank you, making local people safer."
The cabinet holds a LIFEPAK CR2 defibrillator and a The Daniel Baird Foundation bleed control kit. Both are registered on British Heart Foundation's The Circuit and Bleed Map, so emergency services can direct people to them.
In an emergency, always call 999 and follow the instructions from the call handler.
