Our Work.

 

It is estimated that 12 people below the age of 35 die every week in the UK from undiagnosed heart conditions, many of them with no prior symptoms.

Since 2018, Jay’s Aim has been on a mission to reduce this number; with the help of generous supporters like you, we’re starting to make a difference..

Jay’s Aim provides free-to-attend CPR and defibrillator training throughout South-West England.

Awareness.

The purpose of Jay’s Aim is to prevent young people dying from undiagnosed heart conditions in South-West England. We believe that the most powerful tool at our disposal is increased public awareness, so we work hard to promote wider knowledge and understanding of little-known cardiac conditions and their symptoms.

Training.

Unfortunately, we can't predict when someone is going to have a sudden cardiac arrest, or choose who is going to be with them when it happens. However, we can try to educate as many people as possible about what to do in an emergency; with this in mind, Jay’s Aim provides free-to-attend CPR and defibrillator training throughout South-West England.

Defibrillators.

After a cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces someone’s chance of survival. Jay’s Aim has provided public access defibrillators (PADs) in more than 140 locations throughout South-West England. By providing these PADS, we hope to increase the likelihood of a defibrillator being available in an emergency cardiac-arrest situation.

Our training sessions are designed to be fun, combining a hands-on, interactive approach with up-to-the minute technology.

Public Access Defibrillators

 

Funded.

 

Jay’s Aim is trying to establish the areas most in need of a defibrillator in South-West England. If you would like to apply for a defibrillator for your sports club, place of education or other area where you exercise or socialise.

Learn More

 

Loan.

 

We provide a free to use defibrillator loan scheme. The scheme allows sports clubs, schools, businesses and community groups to loan a defibrillator from Jay's AIM for any one off events that you may be running.

Learn More

 

Buy.

 

Unfortunately, as a growing charity it’s not always possible to fund all of the PAD applications we receive. However, as a non-profit organisation we are able to offer market-leading equipment at much lower prices than commonly found elsewhere.

  • Defib no 226: Grand Western Canal, Tiverton

    Another one of the defibs funded by the amazing attendees of the exeterpropertyball this summer! 🩵

    This one was very generously funded by Everys Solicitors LLP and is positioned at the Grand Western Canal carpark in Tiverton.

    It was a real team effort with Everys Solicitors fully funding the CPAD and Cllr Colin Slade kindly funding the install with part of his locality budget. A big thank you must also go to Mark Baker at DCC for organising many of the logistics. 👏🏼🙌🏽

  • Defib no 222: Sidmouth Police Station

    Another Community Public Access defibrillator (CPAD) funded by the brilliant fundraising that bupadentalcareuk SW Practices completed for us! 🩵🚴‍♀️🚣

    This one will soon be installed at Sidmouth Police Station. If the defib is needed in an emergency before then the police have it at the desk, so please go in and ask. 👮‍♂️

    It was fantastic to meet Alice (and her son River) from BUPA again today after she was such a motivational and inspiring part of the fundraising team. A big thank you also to PC Tom Driver who has worked hard to complete the necessary paperwork in order for this to be okayed. 👍🏼👏🏼

  • Defib no 219: Abbotskerswell Cricket Club

    @abbotskerswell_cc funded this CPAD themselves following a well attended quiz night organised by Steve Cooper. 🤔❔

    It’s situated on the club house in an ‘unlocked’ cabinet making it accessible to all. Jay’s Aim ensured that club members were confident to use it in an emergency with a training session held at the start of this years cricket season. ⛑️

  • Defib no 218: Bridge Motor Cycles, Exeter.

    This is the first of many community public access defibs (CPAD’s) that have been funded following ‘pledges’ made by local businesses at the amazing @exeterpropertyball in July this year.

    @bridge_motorcycles was established over 70 years ago and is located in Alphington, on the edge of Marsh Barton industrial estate. They also have the busy ‘Cafe 53’ onsite, so it made complete sense for Bridge to use their ‘pledge’ from the ball at their own site.

    Pictured are Dan and Lee Anthony (Directors) with the CPAD.

  • Defib no 216: Holsworthy Community College

  • 💥£23,000💥 We recently collected a cheque from Bupa Dental Care ‘Area 14 South West’ for a staggering £23,000! 😳

    Back in the autumn they took on and completed an incredible fundraising challenge that included no less than 20 of their SW based practices.

    The challenge - to row/cycle from Bupa Dental Care Penzance to Bupa Dental Care Poundbury, which was more than 800 miles!

    We would like to say a big thank you to Jonathan Sowerbutts who managed the challenge and organised many of the logistics involved and also to Janice Swatton from Bupa Dental Care Bude for nominating Jay’s Aim! Both absolute heroes along with all that took part! 🦸🏼🦸🏽‍♀️

    Hartland Primary School are another school to take us up on our ‘Free Cabinets for Schools’ scheme.

    The eagle eyed amongst you may notice that it’s not one of our normal cabinets. The school had actually already purchased a cabinet to make their government funded defib into a CPAD, so in this instance we helped by picking up some of the bill.

    Hi, I’m Jack. After being raised in Bude I returned to the town with my wife and four children after a decade of living in London. With family and community being the key reason for our move ‘home’, I’m excited to be a part of a charity having a direct impact in prevention of loss of life here in the South West.

    Jack was a close friend of Jay’s and brings a wealth of business knowledge with him. We have no doubt he’ll be a valuable addition to the team!

  • Defib no 212: The W Club, Bude.

    The wclubbude recently got in touch to say they would like to make the defib (that we previously helped provide) into a public access defibrillator.

    We were more than happy to help and part funded this heated cabinet for them. They’ve registered it on ‘The Circuit’ making it accessible to not only their guests, but also any members of the public that might need it in an emergency. Great job all around! 👏🏼👍🏼🩵

    #jaysaim #defib #CPAD #bude #cornwall

  • We’re very sad to report that the community public access defib based at fowler_fp on Magdalen Road, Exeter, appears to have been stolen.

    It’s so frustrating as there is no re-sale market for defibrillators and it’s highly unlikely someone would steal it for their own personal benefit (you just have to ask if you did need one)! 🤷🏻

    We will always make sure that stolen defibs are replaced, but it’s disappointing that a defib that could have been used in another location is now being used as a replacement. We will also now need to change the cabinet to a locked version. Locked cabinets are slower to access in emergencies and can sometimes be the difference between life and death. 😢

    Please do get in touch if you can help or have any information.

  • It’s our 6th Birthday!!🎈🎁🎂🎉

    Everything we do in Jay’s name is to try and prevent young people in SW England dying from sudden cardiac arrests.

    To date we’ve provided over 200 CPAD defibrillators, trained over 20,000 people in CPR and funded 360 heart screenings for young people (including a session for 200 people in place for this September).

    All this hard work will never bring Jay back to us, but hopefully it will prevent other families and friends from going through the heartbreak of losing someone so young.

    Please share to help spread the word! 💙📢
