Fred Olsen Travel Agents has been supporting Heart 2 Heart Norfolk for almost two years, making it the beneficiary of all fundraising efforts.

Heart 2 Heart Norfolk was started in 2017 by Jayne Biggs after her daughter Violet experienced a life-threatening cardiac arrest at age seven.

Ms Biggs' commitment is to educate the public about vital CPR techniques and raise money for more accessible defibrillators.

Fred Olsen Travel Agents is continuing fundraising to enable Heart 2 Heart to install further defibrillators across East Anglia.

They encourage contributions through collection boxes placed in their shops.
