Clifton Village Gets Rescue Ready

At Defibs4Bristol, we strongly believe in a holistic approach. Our work isn't just about finding sites and installing equipment; it’s about engaging with the community, helping with funding, and crucially, following up with training to empower people to act in an emergency.

Last week was a perfect example of this in action. We're pleased to now share the video from our CPR and defibrillator training session held at the Primrose Cafe last Tuesday. This was the first of two community training events we delivered in a single week, followed by another fantastic session at St Mary's Church in Stoke Bishop on the Saturday.

The training was organised for the community following the successful installation of a defibrillator just a stone's throw away at the East Village Cafe. This vital installation was made possible by Clifton BID, who funded the new cabinet to reinstate a defibrillator in a location that had previously hosted one. The session gave attendees the chance to demystify the process of responding to a cardiac arrest and build life-saving confidence.

Our work doesn’t stop there. We continue to monitor our 56 Defibs4Bristol units and 6 adopted defibrillators across the city, ensuring they are always rescue-ready. Keep an eye on our website, as we have some exciting developments for new sites in the pipeline and will be sharing more updates soon.

A huge thank you to the Primrose Cafe for providing the perfect space for training, to Clifton BID for their vital funding, and to everyone who came along to learn life-saving skills.
