Hi, we are Albion Boxing Academy, a community amateur sports club in the heart of Cambridge City, operating a strict social inclusion policy to help all walks of life access amateur boxing and benefit from the life skills not offers.
Every England Boxing member club will need to have access to and know how to use a defibrillator by 1st June 2022.
The mandatory requirement was originally set to become a membership rule ahead of the start of the 2020-21 season, but was put back because of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
But with Covid-19 restrictions now beginning to ease, and ahead of the 2022-23 season, clubs are once again being given notice of the need to equip themselves with the life-saving technology as part of the duty of care towards all individual members whilst on club premises.
There are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests across the UK every year and, without immediate treatment, 90 to 95 per cent of sudden cardiac arrest victims will die.
However, the chance of survival increases by 50 percent with immediate access to a life-saving defibrillator.
The defibrillator used by an England Boxing club must be a maximum distance of five minutes’ full journey on foot from the club (there and back, plus gaining any necessary access).
Should a club not have access to a defibrillator within the designated distance area, then they must obtain a defibrillator and are responsible for the maintenance of it.
All boxing shows are already required to have easy access to a defibrillator near the ring.
We are extremely grateful for your help
Maybe you can think of a ways to raise funds to HELP?
