Ohope, Bay Of Plenty

Defibrillator's save lives.

So many people love to surf and swim at West End Ohope Beach. West End also encompasses the spectacular Ngā Tapuwae o Toi walking track and is the gate way to shelly Otarawairere Bay. Hundreds of people use West End each day over the year and many groups utilise this amazing spot for education, managing stress, promoting fitness, confidence and ultimately growing a love of the ocean.

Defibrillators are devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric pulse or shock to the heart. Defibrillators can restore the heart's beating if the heart suddenly stops. The unknown can strike us at anytime - lets be prepared.

The Rural Support Trust Bay of Plenty is working with the community to raise funds to purchase a defibrillator for West End Ohope. We are proudly supported in this endeavour by Surfing for Farmers.

The Bay of Plenty Rural Support Trust is a charitable organisation set up to work with the rural community when times are tough on the farm or in the family. They are also part of a nationwide network of rural support trusts .
