Cambusnethan Miners Charitable Society Lifesaving Contribution to the Community

Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the fundraising efforts of Cambusnethan Miners Charitable Society, which recently donated a lifesaving defibrillator to Made4U in ML2; understands that, initially, the Cambusnethan Miners Charitable Society hosted a fundraiser to raise funds to purchase and install an external defibrillator at the Cambusnethan Club, until London Hearts offered funding that enabled the charity to purchase a further defibrillator for the Made4U in ML2 community hub; further understands that, every week in Scotland, around 70 people have a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public place, and that starting CPR as soon as possible will give the person the best chance of survival, but that being able to use a defibrillator within the first few minutes of collapse increases that chance even further; thanks the club’s president, Alex Paris, and all the members, for their contribution to the community, and wishes them all well with their future community ventures.
