Hide AdDue to the expansion of the school, along with the school’s renewed capacity to hire out facilities for local community sports groups, it was agreed that a defibrillator would be necessary.
Local groups who will benefit from this include: Leamington Brakes FC, Little Kickers and JayKays Dance Company.
The benefits of a defibrillator are wide-ranging and offer peace of mind for both the school and the local community.
If a defibrillator is used within 3-5 minutes of a cardiac arrest, survival rates can jump impressively from six per cent to 74 per cent.
The machine is easy to use for all age groups and training is not required.
