The Christine Wilson Defibrillator Appeal
A Banbury Lions Project
Public Access Defibrillators (PADs) are life-saving pieces of equipment for patients who are in cardiac arrest. They are accessible to any member of the public.
You do not need any training or prior experience to use a PAD. They tell you exactly what to do with voice and visual prompts as soon as you turn them on. They are kept in weatherproof / vandal proof cabinets, with a key code given by a 999 operator in the event of an emergency.
Banbury Lions now have 3 defibrillators in Banbury Town centre:
- On the outside wall of Castle Quay centre near Wild Lime (old Marks and Spencer exit)
- On the exterior of the public toilet block near Banbury Cross (Thanks to Spratt Endicott Solicitors)
- On the exterior of the Coach and Horses in Butchers Row
and
- We have recently supplied our 4th Defibrillator to Banbury United FC in memory of past Lion Nigel Porter.
We are always working on financing and locations for further Defibrillators - keep checking back for updates.
