Start-A-Heart 24:7 is thrilled to announce the installation of two brand-new community defibrillators in Canklow — located at Town Street and Rotherview Road. These life-saving devices are now accessible to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering crucial support in the event of a cardiac emergency.
Every second counts when someone suffers a cardiac arrest, and access to a defibrillator can make the difference between life and death. By placing these devices in easily accessible community locations, we aim to ensure that residents, visitors, and passers-by have the best possible chance of saving a life before emergency services arrive.
This project has been made possible thanks to the incredible support and generosity of our local partners. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Boston Ward Councillors, Rotherham Round Table, and Rotherham Street Lighting for their invaluable contributions and collaboration. Their support demonstrates the power of community working together for a common cause — protecting and saving lives.
At Start-A-Heart 24:7, our mission is to increase the availability of defibrillators across Rotherham and beyond, ensuring that no one is ever too far from this essential piece of life-saving equipment. With each new installation, we are one step closer to building a safer, more prepared community.
We encourage everyone in the Canklow area to familiarise themselves with the location of these new defibrillators — you never know when you might need to act quickly to save a life.
