Defibrillator Fundraiser A Success

School caretaker, Mr Rob Jones organised a number of charity events to raise funds for a piece of lifesaving equipment for the school. Rob who has worked at the school for twenty years was spurred on to raise money for an automated external defibrillator (AED )following the death of family member and after learning about the sudden death of a pupil in a local school in Liverpool. Mr Jones stated he was committed to raising awareness of the value of having a defibrillator – as this machine saves lives.

Mr Jones worked closely with the school’s Friends of St Michael’s Association (FOSMA) members to apply for further funding. Local Banks, Santander and Barclays supported the cause through their matched funding scheme. Mrs Scowen, parent and member FOSMA approached her employer Barclays Bank to support this worthwhile cause.

“With a defibrillator on site, St Michael’s will have lifesaving equipment available at the school. I am delighted that Rob has taken the safety of our students and school community to heart.” - Dr Hulme, Headteacher

Rob stated “We have raised over £2000 to purchase two defibrillators for the school and we hope to hold more fundraising events in the future.”
