new public access defibrillator at The Home of Football
- 12/12/2023
We’re thrilled to unveil our new public access defibrillator at The Home of Football!
With around 15,000 visitors to the ground every year, this will help protect them from sudden cardiac arrest. Thank you to our partner Defib Store Ltd for the amazing customised backboard, installation and service.
Dylan Ralph, Partnerships Manager at Sheffield FC said: “As a football club at the heart of the community, we know it's vital for the ground to have a public access defib. Not only that, but even on non-match days, it will be available to the local community of Dronfield and the patrons and staff from the Thornbridge Brewery pub, The Coach & Horses. It's also fantastic to support a local, Sheffield-based company who are a proud partner of Sheffield FC."
If you're visiting the ground, it's right next to the spectator's entrance, so everyone entering will know exactly where it is.
Ben Cross, Marketing Manager at Defib Store said: "Sheffield FC holds a special place in our hearts. We're a regular club partner and always proud to work with another Sheffield-based organisation to unveil their new public access defibrillator inside one of our Defib Store 4000 cabinets, complete with a customised backboard."
Dylan Ralph and Rob Hand from Sheffield FC graciously welcomed Ben to The Home of Football last month.
We hope it’s never needed, but it’s great to know it’s there in an emergency.
