Aim: Our campaign aims to raise funds to help us place defibrillators in the community that will be available day and night.
We raised £2660, which will pay for the AED, secure box, lighting and with enough left over to purchase a training device.
When someone has a cardiac arrest following a heart attack, their life can be saved if their heart is restarted quickly using an automated external defibrillator (AED).
Glen Ogilvie is a small rural community where ambulances can take 20 minutes to arrive, possibly considerably longer in bad winter weather.
Our campaign aims to raise funds to help us place defibrillators in the community that will be available day and night.
The Glen Ogilvie Residents’ Association (GORA) was set up by residents of Glen Ogilvie to enhance the lives and environment of the residents of Glen Ogilvie and make the community more resilient. GORA will also be willing to support our neighbouring communities do the same for their residents.
The first task the association has set itself is the provision of one or more AED devices for the area.
We are a small, scattered rural community of about 6 square miles. We are about 2 miles to the south of Glamis Castle. As well as a hamlet of private dwellings there are outlying farms and cottages, many with long, rough access roads.
We have raise over a quarter of our target in 10 days. Keep up thegood work
