Public access defibrillator installed at University brings tally to 13

  27th February 2023

Lifesaving equipment accessible to members of the local community has been installed at University of Gloucestershire, following a fundraising initiative by a member of The Growth Hub team.

Katie Thomas, Events Co-ordinator at The Growth Hub – based at the University’s Oxstalls Campus in Gloucester – organised busking sessions in Gloucester with her bandmates in the ukulele group Crossed uKeys to raise money for a defibrillator.

Katie collaborated with the co-founder of the Public Hearts Defibrillator Campaign, Clare Seed, on finding a publicly accessible location for the defibrillator, after the pub for which it was originally intended underwent a change of management.
