New Mills Art Theatre

The theatre is delighted to announce their appeal to install a new defibrillator on the exterior of the building, giving access to a life-saving device to the entire community. 

As an important public space, with a seating capacity of 450, it is vital that we keep everyone who visits us as safe as possible. As there is no public parking provision at the theatre and street parking can be limited, we feel having one accessible to our visitors, but also to local residents and commuters to the area vital.  

A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone. Every minute without defibrillation reduces the chance of survival by 10%.  Calling 999 and administering immediate treatment with CPR and a defibrillator before the paramedics arrive, gives the victim the best chance of survival, increasing success rates from 6% to over 74%.  

We have secured Government match funding, but require an additional £750.  Can you help?
