Rossett School's Heart of the Community Campaign

In our ever-changing world, the need for immediate medical response tools is more critical than ever. We are raising funds to purchase a defibrillator and two outdoor cabinets to hold defibrillators and bleeding control kits (also known as bleed boxes) for our community. These essential items will provide life-saving assistance in emergencies, particularly in cases of severe or catastrophic haemorrhaging.

By providing these resources, we aim to empower our community members to respond effectively to life-threatening situations. This initiative will enhance our community’s preparedness and potentially save lives as well as peace of mind that this equipment is on site and available to use 24/7.

We invite you to contribute to this vital cause. Your donations will directly fund the purchase of two defibrillators cabinets, one new defibrillator and the necessary supplies for our bleeding control kits.

Every pound counts, and your support can make a significant difference in ensuring that our community is equipped to handle medical emergencies.

We would like to place these kits in areas that the community can access 24/7. We aim to cover both sides of our school site (the main front of school gate and the sports hall car park area), where many teams play after school and on weekends. The sports centre kit will contain a defibrillator which is suitable for adults and children as it is close to a primary school and sports centre where many children participate in a variety of different sports.

We would also like to contribute to the training of first aid with some free to access courses as part of our community education. These free public awareness sessions will support the community to feel confident in using the contents of our cabinets and can be booked through Rossett Adult Education (for ages 12 and above).

Any additional funds will be used to purchase more lifesaving first aid training equipment, including resuscitation dolls, for use by Rossett School students and Rossett Adult Education, towards the maintenance and upkeep of the defibrillator cabinets and contents, and towards the Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity's Restart a Heart campaign and St John Ambulance.

Thank you for considering supporting this important initiative!

Every pound counts.
