Life saving devices in the heart of our community
The objective of Lyme Heartbeat is to increase the availability of 24-hour access defibrillators right across Lyme Regis and surrounding areas as the availability of defibrillators can help to save lives. We aim to increase awareness within the local community of how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator device in order to save a life in the event of a cardiac arrest.
Community fundraising including boat jumbles, raffles and crowdfunding has enabled the purchase and installation of a number of defibrillator units in and around Lyme Regis.
