Covid-19.

Like many UK businesses and charities, Jay’s Aim has been negatively affected by the events of the past year. To keep our team and members of the public safe, we have been careful to ensure we are fully compliant with the government’s Coronavirus-tackling restrictions, including cancelling and postponing many of the events we had planned (as well as events others had planned for us). Unfortunately, this has made a huge dent in our fundraising, and we have not realised our funding ambitions for the past year. While we will of course continue to prioritise safety until the public health situation improves, it remains an unfortunate fact that sudden cardiac arrests will continue to happen with or without a global pandemic. Young people are still dying every single week.

We need your support now more than ever, so that when it is safe to do so we can return to schools, universities, sports clubs and businesses and train the young people who have missed out on our previous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated electronic defibrillator (AED) training sessions. We are desperate to keep up the pace of our public access defibrillator (PAD) provision across the South-West; it’s also important to us that our postponed cardiac screening session is rescheduled, and that a further screening session is funded, too. A lot to aim for, but with your support we have no doubt that Jay’s Aim can achieve all this and more!
