A number of years ago as a local Councillor we did exactly this via the CGS funding stream. From memory local schools were offered them for free. Don't recall whether any local businesses took up the offer.

The council official would have ben Andrea Allen.

Would it not be best for them to be placed in properties that are likely to be open the longest hours, such as CoOp, EDT, M and S, the small Sainsbury's? Those places are also pretty corporate (EDT is part of a small chain, no?) and would have someone who would, I hope, be across the niceties such as upkeep and training, liabilities, etc.
Places open 24/7 are the best for obvious reasons - Sainsbury's might even fund one if asked? Monica I have sent a private message with the recommendation of the product - it is around ?1000 and there will be other suppliers. I was told a first-timer with no experience would pretty-much be able to use!
Heartblock - you were very interested in this so why don't you start a thread and get folk to put in their (checked) locations? It is so easy to say "why don't we" and then hope someone else will pick up on one's brilliant idea and do the slog! This could be your way to help someone for very little initial time invested. (I am not that invested to do it myself and never suggested it in the first place.)

Thank you for the suggestion Nigello, but as many of us like to do - when I have downtime I would rather not be involved with my past daily practice for over 35 years.


Happy to help Monica privately as she requested. As you appear to not like my input and have added an unnecessary and caustic remark I will withdraw from this thread and just contact Monica privately.


Maybe you should reflect on how you sometimes address people who do offer advise and help.

Iv just spoken with the CcOp head office who have confirmed we can place the defibrillator at the ED store, apparently they do have in-store defibrillators in other community CoOp stores.

I can start a justgiving fund page, post the link on here and hopefully we can raise enough to buy the Defibrillator.

A couple of the forumites who have contacts within the community are going to help purchase one.

Il keep you updated.


Edited due to glasses not working properly

Thank you for all of the messages regarding the Defibrillator.

Can anyone help with a name for the funding page? It needs to represent what we are doing, raising funds for a Defibrillator for the Lordship Lane area.

All ideas for names are welcome.

Thanks

There is a charity that I heard of on Today on Wednesday. Perhaps they woudl be able to help you, given they are already funded and maybe would be able to provide one.


https://www.communityheartbeat.org.uk/ - I think this was it.


There is also https://londonhearts.org/ and others - just do a search for more.

    • Aria did a good job fixing a leak in our bathroom. He was very thorough and made two extra visits to make sure the job was done well. Highly recommended.
    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
