We had an idea



Eighteen months ago , four people came together with a common idea.

That idea was to provide community accessed defibrillators for the benefit of Swanage and the surrounding area.

Maggie Hardy,  (RGN)  previously the Swanage hospital manager and Rotarian

David Corben , Local Estate Agent , ex RNLI crewman and usually the 1st on scene during incidents in Station Road.

Kyle Hickman, Police Officer before emigrating to Australia in September 2016.

Ian Brown  Control Room Trainer and Station Officer of Swanage Coastguard

The four of us came together with and idea to provide four devices in the town.  Thanks to the generosity of the town that idea is growing with currently seven devices installed.

In early 2016 we were very lucky to be joined by Lisa Mattei a Resuscitation Officer who is our technical advisor and leads on the education training provided by the partnership.

This is the coordinating group of the partnership who have in the last eighteen months had many meetings to look at different devices and cabinets, as well as putting a comprehensive governance structure in place.
