Charity Information
Charity Registration
Our Registered Charity Number is 20200526.
Our group has three main objectives:
- To recruit & train locally-based volunteers to provide a CFR service to the communities we serve. This involves ongoing costs associated for training, equipment, uniforms, PPE, consumables etc.
- To install and maintain Pubicly Accessible Defibrillators (PADs) in strategic locations across our communities. We currently have 13 PADs and this will increase to 16 in 2024. Each PAD costs ~€2,000 to install and ~€150/year to maintain.
- To promote awareness, knowledge and skills across the communities we serve through training and education. This includes how to recognise and deal with medical emergencies, such as cardiac arrest, heart attack and stroke.=
Our volunteer group is funded though donations from the public and local businesses, group fundraising activities, and grant awards from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the HSE/ National Lottery.
