Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Our Jay Foundation are Brindley Twist Tafft & James' charity of the year from April 2024 - March 2025

We will be undertaking different fundraising events throughout the year to raise money.

So far we have had staff collection for a Euro's sweepsteak & England themed dress down day. We have also participated in an 8k sponsored walk. (See updates below for photos!)

Still to come, we have staff running the Coventry 10k park run later in the year, we will also be having a staff collection for 'Christmas jumper day'.

Here's why.....

Our Jay Foundation

After losing their 18-year-old son/brother/friend Jamie to a heart attack on new years day in 2022, Jamie's family and friends decided to start fundraising to install a 24/7 accessible defibrillator in a local school, after receiving an overwhelming response, they set up OurJay Foundation......

OurJay Foundation aims to raise awareness of the importance of having 24/7 publicly accessible automated external defibrillators. They also aim to raise funds to purchase and install accessible defibrillators across Rugby, Warwickshire and further afield. Accessible defibrillators are needed, everywhere. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, any time at any age. With a defibrillator available within 8 minutes, it can increase the chance of a person’s survival by up to 70%

They are working closely with local government organisations, community groups and business organisations to get these vital accessible defibrillators into as many publicly accessible sites as possible.

They will continue to campaign for and provide CPR/AED Training to incorporate automated external defibrillators as a mandatory element of the training. Additionally, they will campaign to have CPR/AED training in the curriculum of all educational establishments across the UK.

Set up in memory of our Jamie, who we lost to a cardiac arrest in January 2022, aged just 18. The nearest defibrillator to Jamie, on the night he collapsed, was devastatingly locked inside a school and was not accessible to the people trying desperately to save his life. An ambulance took 18 minutes
