Pride of Britain


I would just like to thank everyone for their kind comments and support following my nomination for a "Pride of Britain" award. 

Whilst I didn't get to go to London as special thank you to Pete Wakefield for nominating me along with my fellow coordinators , guardians and supporters that have made the partnership work so well.

We have grown from just four to twenty defibrillators , with another possible nine in the Purbeck area if we can raise the funds to purchase them.

Whilst we look at the further devices, we are also looking at the look term sustainability of the equipment to ensure they remain "Rescue Ready"

Cleaning materials,  replacement pads and batteries are all costs we need to fund raise for in the near future.

 If you would like to make a donation to the Partnership please use one of our collection tins around the town or call into Corbens 41 Station Road Swanage.


Collection tins are located at Boots, Corbens, Seagull Café , Swanage Tourist Information and Chococo.

Defibrillator goes to Incident

Today saw the 10th time this year one of the Partnership defibrillators  has gone to an incident.

A medical incident in the town saw a member of the public directed to the nearest device which was on Shore Road , the 3rd time the device on Shore has been used this year.

Do you know what to do in a medical emergency ?

On Monday 16th October the Partnership is holding two workshops to support the Start a Heart day.
Held at the Methodist Church at 11am and then 7pm the sessions will last about 45 minutes and open to the public.
