BEL VAlves are asking people who live and work in the St. Peter’s neighbourhood to help raise money to purchase a new heart defibrillator for the charity NORTH EAST HEARTS WITH GOALS.

The NORTH EAST HEARTS WITH GOALS charity works to place heart defibrillators in public places. Sudden Cardiac Arrest in the UK causes 100,000 deaths a year including 15 young people’s a week.

Over the past four years NORTH EAST HEARTS WITH GOALS has placed 300 defibrillators in public places and arranged training to use them.
