Buxton: New competition launched to win a free defibrillator in your community

Know a place in Buxton or the High Peak that would benefit from a defibrillator?

High Peak Golf Club, of 27 Town End, Fairfield, recently received a defibrillator from High Peak Comps. This donation has now inspired a new regular giveaway of defibrillators across the community.

Your community could benefit from a free defibrillator thanks to a local competitions company. 

High Peak Comps, the online competitions company which already gives away over £10,000 to charity per month, has come up with another community initiative that comes from the heart.

Already experienced in changing lives,  High Peak Comps is now saving them with their new free-to-enter competition.

High Peak Comps is to launch an ongoing competition to install defibrillators across the country. 

It is free to enter, and anyone can nominate a place for a brand new defibrillator.

Anywhere in the UK can be nominated. All that is required is to meet the following criteria:

  1. You must have permission to put a defibrillator there
  2. The defibrillator must be located outside
  3. The defibrillator must be in a location that is accessible 24/7 by the local community

If your suggested location meets this criteria, simply comment on  this Facebook post to nominate. 

High Peak Comps owner Charles Edwards came up with the idea after High Peak Golf Club in Buxton asked for  High Peak Comps to install a new defibrillator, to which the company dutifully obliged.

“We’re delighted to launch our new defibrillator wheel”, said Charlie. 

“These can save lives, and we are proud to have come up with another innovative idea to give back into the community. 

“We will start our first spin on Friday May 16, so make sure your suggested spot meets the criteria and get tagging!”

Installing a defibrillator currently costs around £1200, so this new free-to-enter competition will save money for the charities, nurseries, schools and other community buildings that sign up. 

The frequency of the spin will depend on how many nominees sign up.

If you want to tag your school, organisation, or other suggested location for a new defibrillator, please comment on  this linked Facebook post.

The winner of the first defibrillator will be revealed on the High Peak Comps Facebook page at 1pm.

So whether you are part of a sports club, school, or other High Peak community organisation or area, and it meets the criteria, why not nominate it for a defibrillator?
