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.

ITV Pride of Britain nomination

We had some good news last week that Ian has been nominated for an ITV Pride of Britain Award for his work carried out with the  Defibrillator Partnership.

On Friday , reporter Richard Slee and cameraman Steve Codling attended the Coastguard Station to interview Ian, Peter Wakefield (the nominator ) and later at the United Reform Church an interview with Maggie.

The interview will be screened on ITV Meridian Tonight (6pm) during the week starting 9th October along with the other nominees of the Award throughout the week.

 A final winner is announced after all the nominations have been shown.

This nomination is very special reflecting the hard work of all the coordinators,  guardians, electricians and all those who have so generously donated to fund the devices and cabinets in Swanage and Purbeck area.
