This campaign is to have a defibrillator installed (safely and securely) in Maryon Park, Charlton SE7.

It's wonderful that the park is home to communities from all across the area who play sports throughout the year. Football, tennis and, during the Summer, the park hosts a number of school sports days.

Installing a defibrillator by the public toilets in the park would provide  people with the means to save a life should someone have a cardiac arrest. Waiting for an ambulance to arrive may be too late.

Councils across the UK are beginning to install these life-saving devices,  which can be unlocked and used after a 999 call. They are designed to be used by members of the public and cannot give a pulse to someone who doesn't need it.

Here's a handy video about it:

We want our local park to be as safe as possible for our communities and families. Please join our campaign.
