“I am proud to be involved in the LeGrys Community Heart Foundation and passionate towards this good cause. The importance of defib in towns will save lives. Fast access to a defibrillator, alongside effective CPR can mean the difference between life and death.”
Dave LeGrys, Olympic and Commonwealth cyclist
I set up the LeGrys Community Heart Foundation primarily as a way of giving back to the communities in which we operate our businesses. Community and support within the community is of paramount importance to both me and the Team at LeGrys.
We have been very well supported over the years and this had led to us being awarded Best Agency in Tunbridge Wells and in fact for the South East for the past three years and setting up the LeGrys Foundation is just a small way of saying thank you and giving back!
“The first of our campaigns, the Defib roll-out scheme will see defibrillators placed in the offices of LeGrys Estate Agents. The first will be in our Head Office, LeGrys House in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells”.
Furthermore, we intend to run in-house training sessions on delivering CPR. You don’t have to search far amongst your friends and families list to find someone that has benefited from CPR and I strongly believe that every town should have several defibs readily available.
My vision is to challenge all agencies to donate just £100 from each of their commission payments to go towards funding a machine outside their offices. Imagine if, in time, every High Street Agent had a defib – so local communities knew exactly where to head in an emergency!
I am delighted that my cousin, David LeGrys, Olympic and Commonwealth cyclist and record holder has leant his hand to this great cause in promoting the initiative. David has had first-hand experience of needing help himself on matters of the heart!
We have a myriad of good local causes that I hope will benefit from the LeGrys Foundation.
Thank you.
