CHARITY
THE OLIVER KING FOUNDATION
For the 2021/22 season the Worshipful Master (WM) has chosen the Oliver King Foundation whose aim is to get as many defibrillators in as many places as possible.
The Foundation was set up in January 2012 following the tragic death of 12-year-old Oliver King. Oliver, sadly died from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome, a hidden heart condition which kills 12 young people every week.
Oliver attended King David High School in Liverpool and suffered a cardiac arrest whilst taking part in a swimming race.
