Rotary Club of Brighton Charitable Foundation, with the assistance of a Rotary District 9800 Foundation Grant, has donated a 24hr Public Access Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Tower outside the new Brighton Life Saving Club & Beach House Café buildings, visible from the bathing boxes and the beach.
On Saturday November 16, 2024 the Rotary Club of Brighton & Brighton Life Saving Club launched the first 24hr Public Access Automated External Defibrillator.
This pilot AED installation has been a joint initiative of Rotary Club & Brighton and Brighton Life Saving Club and will be monitored and managed by BLSC members.
When the lifesavers are not on patrol in this highly populated beach precinct, the community project AED will be accessible to the public. Multiple sudden cardiac arrests occur in the Brighton Beach location each year and 24hr access to an AED could undeniably save lives.
A cordial invitation is extended to anyone who would like to attend the launch and learn more about this Rotary In Action initiative.
Tours of the new Life Saving pavilion (133 Esplanade, Brighton) will be available on the day and Beach House café will be open for refreshments.
