YTL Developments and the Brabazon housing development in Bristol
Our partnership with YTL Developments will make Brabazon the first heart-safe new community in the South West.
The partnership is a groundbreaking commitment to community health and safety. YTL Developments will pay for and install defibrillators around the neighbourhood through GWAAC’s Great Western Hearts defibrillator programme (link to Hearts). The lifesaving devices will be placed in strategic locations so that residents of Brabazon will have an accessible defibrillator within a three-minute-return walk, helping to increase the chance of survival for someone suffering a cardiac arrest nearby by up to 70%.
In addition, YTL Developments will also donate £100 for every house sold in the remainder of the first phase and the entirety of the second phase of new homes at Brabazon.
‘Our partnership with the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity will be a UK first in providing a heart-safe community. With the support of the Lighthouse Club, we are seeking to tackle the scourge of poor mental health. And our partnership with Southern Brooks is already supporting new residents both at Brabazon and across North Bristol.
