Our Mission

Every day, strong and healthy young people die suddenly from heart conditions they didn’t know they had.

Under the age of 35, many deaths are registered as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome – SADS 

Our mission is to provide cardiac screening, CPR training and defibrillators for schools, sports clubs and institutions. 

Through the generosity of those who can afford to pay, we will provide these life-saving services for young people unable to fund them for themselves.

The Facts

  • Every week in the UK, around 12 young people (under the age of 35) die suddenly from a previously undiagnosed heart condition.  80% of these deaths will occur with no prior symptoms.
  • Although it won’t identify all young people at risk, in Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have good evidence of significantly reducing the incidence of young sudden cardiac death.
  • For every minute someone is in cardiac arrest without CPR and access to a defibrillator, their chances of survival drops by up to 10%.

WHAT WE DO

Our team of specialist cardiac physiologists, nurses and cardiologists provided an on-site screening service, alongside our team of nurses offering training in CPR and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as well as a risk assessment.

Once we have explored the needs of each school, club, federation or organisation we will discuss the initial investment and provide a quote tailored to specific needs with a sliding discount model for groups of
25, 50, 75 and 100.

For every person we screen, we will screen another who does not have the funds or access to these programmes. We can work with state schools and clubs that may have links with schools or sports organisations already or we can work in partnership to help identify them.

who we are

We are a CIC (Community Interest Company) deliberately set up this way in order to extend Screening and Training services beyond just the few who can afford to pay for them. As a non-profit organisation, we have built into our programme a like-for-like plan; this means that for every pupil, player or athlete whose scan is paid for, we will offer the same service free-of-charge to another young person/athlete who would be unable to afford these services.  

We will consult with paying clients in the selection of schools or clubs which will benefit from the free service – where appropriate perhaps inviting them to join in the funded sessions.
