IN THE COMMUNITY
Below is the latest information on events at the Wombwell Recreation Ground on behalf of the Trustees, Wombwell Town Football Club, and Wombwell Community Sports Ltd. More will be placed on the Facebook Page.
21/09/21: Recreation Ground Receives New Life-saving Defibrillator
The Premier League’s Defibrillator Fund has enabled Wombwell Recreation Ground to install an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at Station Road, aimed at helping save the life of someone experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest.
The Fund, set up by the Premier League will enable more than 2,000 sites across the country to install an AED and is supported by The FA and Sport England and delivered by the Football Foundation. The defibrillator at Station Road will be ready for use shortly.
While defibrillators are designed to be easy to use, club officials will also receive training through The FA Education’s free online Sudden Cardiac Arrest course and guidance on how to update their emergency action plans.
The new defibrillators will be registered with emergency services so any member of the public can use them to help someone experiencing a cardiac arrest.
Karl Rose of the Recreation Ground Trust, said: “Wombwell Town Football Club have had a defibrillator for a couple of years now, but having one permanently available at Station Road means that all organisations from football to karting can access to one when using our facilities.”
Former professional footballer Fabrice Muamba who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on the pitch in 2012 said:
“I am a big supporter of the Premier League’s new initiative to fund defibrillators for thousands of grassroots football clubs. I know from personal experience the importance of having access to this type of medical equipment and how vital it is for someone’s survival after suffering from sudden cardiac arrest.
“Educating people how to use defibrillators is crucial. I really hope the clubs and facilities will encourage as many coaches, players and staff to undertake the training provided and help create safe places to play the game we all love.”
The Premier League, Football Association and Sport England will work together to ensure that facility developments funded by the Football Foundation incorporate this equipment in the future.
At least 12 young people, between ages 12-35 years, die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions in the UK every week. Over 30,000 people of all ages suffer a cardiac arrest outside of hospital every year and less than one in ten survive.
