Pevensey Defibrillator Campaign Update
The draw takes place at the Grand Quiz at the Priory Court Hotel on 19 September 2018. Tickets are £2:00 each. All the prizes are donated
Talking to the Pevensey Bay Journal, Robert Slater, the organiser, said “I started raising money for a defibrillator in Pevensey earlier this year. There is no publicly accessible defibrillator in Pevensey and these are life savers with statistically 1 in a 1000 people a year suffering from sudden heart failure. The Market Square is the obvious choice as it has a high footfall.
“The cost of a defibrillator and of course a waterproof case and fitting is nearly £2000 and so far with fundraising from quizzes, Markets, Talks, Walks and a successful grant from the British Heart Foundation I am within a few hundred of the target, which should be met sometime this autumn.
“The last push will be a Pevensey Village Draw (to be drawn at a Grand Quiz in Priory Court) to which local businesses and individuals have donated some brilliant prizes for which I must thank them. At the end of the day people of the local area will have largely paid for the defibrillator.
Talking to the Pevensey Bay Journal today, (22 August), Robert offered an update which included a full list of prizes. “Money has been raised for the Defibrillator (which will be arriving in the next few days) now its just the case and the fitting to finish
“When the Pevensey defibrillator is fitted and finished which hopefully will be this Autumn I will be continuing to fundraise for local defibrillators so maybe your readers might have suggestions as to sites where they are needed!”
“The Smugglers Inn held a Charity Fun Day with the Band Unihorn playing last Sunday (19th) and raised £329!!”
“The Village draw is now well under way with 13 prizes and tickets on sale locally (Oak and Castle, Priory Court, Haven Garage, Heron Westham, Vines Flowers, The Smugglers – and of course from me personally!!)”
