About Us
Oliver King was a 12-year-old boy who attended King David High School in Liverpool, whilst winning a swimming race in a PE lesson he tragically suffered a sudden cardiac arrest due to a condition known as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). This condition kills 12 young people under the age of 35 every single week in the UK. Sadly there was no lifesaving defibrillator on hand, and for every minute that passed his chances of survival dropped significantly.
In his memory, The Oliver King Foundation’s work has saved 69+ lives, placing over 5,900 lifesaving defibrillators across the UK and 135,00 staff trained in CPR and defibrillation.
The Oliver King Foundation exists to ensure that no other family has to suffer a similar loss to that of Oliver King. Let’s work together and save lives.
We are determined that every young person should have the best chance of survival, no matter where they go to school. Contact us today and ensure that your local school has this lifesaving equipment.
