Meet Our Patrons

Jamie Carragher

Football legend and passionate advocate, has been a patron of The Oliver King Foundation since 2019, working alongside his 23 Foundation to help install over 40 life-saving defibrillators across communities. His involvement began after witnessing the life-saving impact of defibrillators during training at the Rotunda Gym in Liverpool, where a defibrillator saved a member’s life.

Why we do what we do!

The Foundation was set up in January 2012 following the tragic death of 12-year-old Oliver King. Oliver 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. It is estimated that 270 children die every year!
