Screwfix is registering its network of defibrillators onto The Circuit: The National Defibrillator Network, which was developed by the British Heart Foundation in partnership with Resuscitation Council UK, St John Ambulance, and the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives. The Circuit’s aim is to map all public access defibrillators, so that when someone has a cardiac arrest, 999 call handlers can direct bystanders to the nearest registered defibrillator while they wait for the ambulance to arrive. Screwfix will also begin the roll out the BHF’s first-of-its-kind CPR training tool RevivR to its colleagues. RevivR teaches the user CPR and defibrillation skills in 15 minutes. --- > Staycations provider Verdant Leisure is teaming up with Brain Tumour Research > to raise £50k over the next year 💛 > Team Verdant began by taking part in the > charity’s annual event Wear A Hat Day 🎩 To contribute to Verdant Leisure’s fundraising > go to [https://t.co/fI2EPfwyMi](https://t.co/fI2EPfwyMi) [pic.twitter.com/jXzestQzHN](https://t.co/jXzestQzHN) > — Brain Tumour Research (@braintumourrsch) [April 20, 2023](https://twitter.com/braintumourrsch/status/1649020221024354311?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) #### Verdant Leisure launches partnership with Brain Tumour Research Staycations provider Verdant Leisure has launched a charity partnership with [Brain Tumour Research](https://www.braintumourresearch.org/) to raise £50,000 over the next 12 months.
