We are proud to be guardians for 9 of Otleyβs 22 defibrillators.
Up until the end of 2025, Otley defibrillators were being deployed on average 6 times per month, a stark reminder of just how often they are needed in real emergencies.
We are aware of at least two occasions (and there may well be more due to patient confidentiality) where Otley defibrillators have directly saved lives.
This is now the second time we have fully funded and supported this work, and we are currently in the process of getting 7 more defibrillators back into full working service at a cost of Β£2,800.
This isnβt emergency equipment that sits unused, it is actively being deployed, it is saving lives, and it requires ongoing community support to remain fully stocked and operational.
We are really calling on Otley businesses to step up. There are so many in the town that even if every business contributed just Β£100, we could ensure these defibs are always fully maintained, stocked, and ready when seconds matter.
Nobody knows whose life a defibrillator might save next. The cost of maintaining them is tiny compared to the value of the lives they protect.
These are the moments where community responsibility truly counts.
