At The Droppingwell Pub, we proudly serve our local community. One of our key missions is to support health and safety initiatives, especially through the community fund that provides defibrillators for Kimberworth and surrounding areas. This fund, established in memory of Jessica Lally, has made notable strides in saving lives while fostering a strong sense of community spirit.
A Meaningful Legacy
The Jessica Lally Community Fund was created from a tragic event, but it has become a beacon of hope. The Lally family's tireless efforts not only honour Jessica's memory, but also turn their grief into a powerful life-saving mission. Since the fund was started, we have seen the installation of 24 defibrillators in key community locations. Remarkably, these devices have been called upon 164 times, illustrating the urgency and necessity of having accessible lifesaving resources nearby.
At The Droppingwell Pub, we are proud to contribute to this important cause through various fundraising events and community meetings. Collaborating with other local businesses, such as Art 3 Private Hire and Bake n Butty, demonstrates the enormous impact we can achieve together. This partnership highlights the strength of a community united for a vital cause.
Fundraising Events and Initiatives
Our fundraising events do more than just bring people together; they are essential for maintaining the community fund. We host a variety of activities, from Fundraising Nights and Raffles, to the funds annual Football Tournament. These gatherings are not only entertaining but directly contribute to raising both awareness and funds for the critical defibrillators.
In addition, our collaboration with the Start-a-Heart charity enhances our efforts significantly. They provide crucial advice and resources, ensuring every defibrillator is protected and maintained effectively. This partnership reinforces our dedication to making Kimberworth a safer place for everyone. For example, they help ensure that each defibrillator is housed in a weatherproof cabinet, providing protection against the elements, and thus maximizing their readiness for use in emergencies.
Community Impact
The presence of defibrillators in our community has a profound impact. Knowing that immediate help is available during a medical emergency offers reassurance to both residents and visitors. The statistics are compelling; with defibrillators being called upon over 160 times, it is clear that accessible emergency resources are not just necessary but can be life-saving.
Acknowledging the contributions of our supporters is vital. We extend our sincere gratitude to the guardians of this fund and, especially, to the Lally family for their resilience and dedication. Their commitment is an inspiring example of transforming personal loss into a mission that benefits many, ensuring that others receive help when it is needed most.
