About the Community HeartBeat Trust Partners

The CHT has several projects running around the country through local groups. As part of its support for these schemes we are happy to publicise information about the involvment of these groups and those local organisations that are supporting them. These include:

About Belvoir First Aid:
Belvoir First Aid is a registered charity (1122209) offering medical services at local events and first aid training, aiming to increase the awareness of first aid in the public and local communities. Established in 2006, Belvoir First Aid has built a good reputation for the services it offers, and is one of the few operators in the country of 4x4 ambulances. Services are offered free to Vale organisations, but it relies on donations and local public support for funding. A member of the Association of First Aiders, BFA continues to expand its role in the Vale and continues to seek volunteers to help support medical services at local events. www.belvoirfirstaid.org.uk

About SADS UK
The cardiac charity SADS UK aims to save lives, providing information, funding research and medical equipment to prevent premature sudden cardiac death. Working in the areas of Research, Prevention and Emergency Care lives have been saved as a direct result of the work of SADS UK.

SADS UK highlights the fact that young people and even children can be affected by potentially fatal cardiac conditions. SADS UK was granted international affiliate status to the SADS Foundation, Utah in December 2000 and works with SADS organisations overseas.

SADS UK empowers medical establishments and organisations by providing information and cardiac equipment including:-

Heart monitors to identify abnormalities of the heart rhythm to medical establishments.
Defibrillators to schools, sports clubs, etc., to restart the heart in an emergency situation and sustain life until the ambulance arrives.

SADS UK promotes teaching of ‘The Warning Signs’ by medical and first aid training schools and distributes these to youth organisations and widely in the community to help identify people at risk so that they may be treated.

SADS UK holds annual national conferences to educate and provide information and updates.

If your local group would like to be a partner in this scheme, please contact us via this website.

National registered charity number 1132824 committed to defibrillators in the community

Your training organisation will only be responsible for the initial awareness training and not for the functioning or maintenance of the AED. Please do not send any monies to CHT until you have registered your scheme, and have agreement from the local ambulance service for the establishment of a cPAD scheme. All schemes must be registered with the local ambulance service (CHT will also undertake this or you can do via this site, but this does not remove responsibility for you to notify the local ambulance service of your AED location). 999/112 (ambulance) must always be called prior to using a cPAD equipment. All schemes will be asked to sign an agreement taking responsibility for their own fund raising and operation of the cPAD equipment. It is your responsibility to maintain the equipment in working order and to make sure the local ambulance service is aware of this.
