We would like to encourage clubs to consider the nearest location of a defibrillator in relation to all of your home grounds and the time it would take to get that device to a patient should someone suffer a cardiac arrest. There is only a vital FIVE MINUTE period before permanent or irreversible damage can occur and a portable defibrillator can be the saviour of an otherwise catastrophic situation.

The Club Cricket Charity provide an offer to clubs which is….

1. A portable defibrillator unit (AED)
2. Training
3. Insurance cover against theft, breakage and vicarious liability
4. Registration with local emergency services
5. Post Traumatic Stress Counselling

The Club Cricket Charity and ECB are delighted to announce a major update of its Defibrillator Supply project, offering a further discount, which is now available to cricket clubs and organisations throughout England and Wales.

The offer is for the supply of a portable AED unit at a total cost of £100.00.

The Club Cricket Charity will pay the difference through our partnership with the ECB, including the 4 years Annual Support costs of £504.00. This highly discounted offer includes training, insurance cover for loss or damage as well as personal liability, stress counselling post event, and registration with local emergency services.

The offer is fulfilled by The Community Heartbeat Trust under their ‘Managed Solution’ scheme which has been successfully deployed since 2018 with over 900 clubs and teams receiving portable units.

Cambridgeshire Cricket Ltd are pleased to be able to offer a further reduction in costs to clubs that are primarily affiliated to us. Working in partnership with The Club Cricket Charity, Cambridgeshire Cricket will provide £100 of funding to the first 25 clubs to gain an AED from this scheme. This means the initial outlay to clubs will be £0

We would like to encourage clubs that are interested in this offer to email Donna.black@club-cricket.co.uk requesting a county application form. Make sure you mention that your club is affiliated to Cambridgeshire Cricket Board in the email
