Thank you!
Lifesaving defibrillator now @ RVR
Why a defibrillator @RVR is important
Every year, thousands of people suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests where survival rates are tragically less than 10%. However, having an onsite, easily accessible Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can dramatically increase the chance of survival to as high as 70% if used within the first few minutes.
Saving lives
At our model railway, we are proud to be run by a team of dedicated volunteers. Many of these volunteers fall within the highest risk category for cardiac arrest—men aged 65 and over.
Beyond our team we also welcome hundreds of visitors of all ages to our site each year on public running days, parties or special events.
We want to keep everyone who visits Rainsbrook Valley Railway as protected as possible.
Goal achieved!
We've raised £2,500 to fund the purchase and installation of a defibrillator and a heated, all-weather external cabinet at Rainsbrook Valley Railway - thanks to donations from members and the public.
Our club defibrillator has now been purchased and installed, giving us an easy‑to‑use, always ready life‑saving piece of equipment that is accessible to everyone visiting our site.
A huge thank you to every member of the public who contributed to the fundraising effort. Your generosity has made this possible
Thank you for your incredible support!
