Friends of Aidan Robson was set up to honour our dear friend Aidan. 

In March 2022, we installed a community defibrillator in Aidan’s name in the Hare & Billet Pub, Blackheath - Aidan’s local. We currently have enough funds for a second one - hopefully in another location that was equally meaningful to him, and where it can also potentially help save lives.

"Aidan was all about friends, family and being active, so our family is very happy to commemorate him by helping to save lives. Let’s all please learn how to use it when it’s up!" Kelly Robson

These devices can be used by members of the public, often with little or no training, to re-start the heart of a victim of sudden cardiac arrest.

When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, the chance of survival falls by 10% every minute without action. However, with CPR and the use of a defibrillator within 3 minutes, the chance of survival could be as high as 70%. 

Defibrillators can save lives.

All funds raised will enable us to purchase a defibrillator for use by our local community, maintain it and provide training for those people who would like to learn how to perform emergency first aid, CPR and how to use a defibrillator. Any giftaid contributions will go directly to support the charity Community Hearbeat Trust and the 6000+ defibrillators they have helped install.
