Heart Safe Community
Help Us Save Lives in Yankalilla and Normanville
Welcome to the Heart Safe Community project, an initiative of the Yankalilla Normanville Progress Association. We’re committed to making our community a safer place by ensuring that life-saving AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are accessible in critical locations—and we need your help to make this a reality.
Why It Matters
In our community, where the average age is 59 and many grey nomad travellers visit regularly, the risk of sudden cardiac incidents is higher. Cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anytime, and in these critical moments, quick access to an AED can mean the difference between life and death.
The Heart Safe Community project aims to:
Equip key public locations with portable AEDs.
Educate the community on how to use AEDs and raise awareness of their locations.
Provide affordable AEDs for hire, with funds going back into purchasing more units for the community.
Encourage residents and holiday homeowners to place AEDs in their properties.
How You Can Help
We’ve partnered with Growers Gate to bring you a special wine fundraiser where you can enjoy great wine while supporting a life-saving cause. You can purchase a case of Red, White, or Sparkling wine, with proceeds going directly towards the purchase of AEDs for our community.
