Cardo Group Funds 2 Defibrillators for Public Hearts Defib Campaign

Public Hearts Defibrillator Campaign CIC has now installed Defib No 94 thanks to continued collaborations and connections of the business community. Public Hearts Key Partner and laeding philanthopist, Bob Holt OBE introduced us to Cardo Group, a leading provider of high-quality building maintenance and retrofit services for social housing and public sector buildings. Their CEO Liam Bevan generously offered to fund 2 lifesaving defibs:

The first was installed Public Hearts Defib No 91 The Gala Club Fairmile Gardens Longford Gloucester GL2 9EB in early Dec 2024 and the second was successfully installed marking Defib 94 at Cheltenham Borough Homes Durban House Princess Elizabeth Way Cheltenham GL51 7PG on 17 January 2025.

Public Hearts Founder, Clare Seed thanks CEO Liam Bevan and Sustainability and Training manager Scott Davis for their great support and Cardo Group’s generosity and foresight in bringing these lifesaving and lifesaving devices into the community.

These are high density residential areas and 80% of out of hospital cardiac arrest occur at home. Installing them here is vital, particularly as there was no immediate existing coverage within a 5 minute radius. Anyone can use a defib and anyone might need one, so let’s make them as available and accessible as possible.

Public Hearts has put Cheltenham on the map as the Defib Capital of the SouthWest according to the BBC and the Big 100th defib is imminent.

Public Hearts also holds funded cardiac screening days for young people 14-35 and the most recent one taking place on 28 January in St Paul’s, Cheltenham.

This is part of their wider mission to raise awareness, understanding and knowledge around cardiac conditions and to offer young people access to being heart screened.

Had a first aid at work training with Tidal and it was a great experience overall. The teacher was clear and very knowledgeable, the class went at a really good pace there was plenty of time to ask questions when needed yet the day went by very quickly!

A genuinely lovely company. Very concerned for their clients' happiness and satisfaction. Very professional and organised everything beautifully. The trainers were AMAZING. Really bright and knowledgeable, able to respond to questions, kind, funny, friendly and approachable. Training can sometimes feel only partially useful, but this all felt like things we needed and would use, presented thoughtfully and clearly by brilliant trainers. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tidal and will certainly use them again. Thank you!

Wonderful training day, I now feel so much more confident in delivering First Aid thanks to Tidal Training Direct. I hope I don't need to use my skills but I am pleased I have the confidence and vital knowledge available to help save someone's life.

BeSocial@theCentre have been using Tidal Training for our staff training needs for a couple of years now and we could not be more pleased with the service and quality of training that they provide. When we contact the office, the staff we speak to are very friendly and helpful – every query or issue we have is always dealt with professionally and efficiently – 100 % customer service satisfaction! The ‘Trainers’ who we have had the pleasure of meeting, either face-to-face or online, have always been fantastic. Very clear in their presentation, knowledgeable in their subject and have made learning enjoyable. Sitting through a dull training session certainly is not on the agenda with Tidal Training! The flexibility and understanding, that BeSocial@theCentre have experienced with Tidal Training during recent months, due to a change in Centre staff and then COVID-19 pressures, has be second to none. Both Clare and Colin have been fantastic in changing dates and fitting our staff members in to different sessions to fit our requirements – We can not thank them enough for their patience with us. Thank you to the whole team at Tidal Training – We will see you at our next session!

After attending this first aid training I was impressed with the amount of information that was covered in the day as well as being taught in such an engaging manor so the information was retained well. I especially liked that the trainer for the course was an active Paramedic and was able to relate the first aid training to real life scenarios and experiences and share stories which kept the course interesting and gave character to the course. Overall an enjoyable training course which has left me feeling confident in providing many forms of first aid, highly recommended.

Fantastic courses, super friendly and helpful staff and owners. We wouldn't go anywhere else for our emergency first aid at work training.

Brilliant course! Amazing to be able to practice CPR with a live link to assessment software. Now I know my skills are going to be effective if ever needed. Very reassuring to have my own CPR dummy for the duration of the course, and super confident of the safety protocols that Clare and the Tidal team have in place.
