Saints back Red Sky Foundation’s ‘One in Every Corner’ campaign

Thanks to the Red Sky Foundation’s generosity, four brand new defibrillators have now been installed around the external footprint of St Mary’s Stadium, making vital life-saving equipment accessible to supporters, staff, and the wider community.

The defibrillators have been gifted by Sheffield Wednesday supporter Paul, widely known as ‘Tango-man’, in loving memory of his daughter, Lauren. Determined to ensure Lauren’s name and legacy continue to save lives, Paul launched the #OneInEveryCorner mission — a nationwide campaign with the ambitious goal of installing a defibrillator in all four corners of every one of the 92 Football League stadiums across the UK.

By working with Red Sky Foundation, Southampton Football Club is helping to turn that vision into reality, recognising the crucial role that rapid access to defibrillators can play in saving lives during cardiac emergencies — a message that resonates strongly during Heart Month.

Andy Darbyshire, Head of Event Safety and Security for Southampton Football Club, said: “We are incredibly proud to work alongside the Red Sky Foundation in support of the One in Every Corner Campaign. Having publicly accessible defibrillators around St Mary’s Stadium is a vital step in helping protect our supporters and local community. We are honoured to play a part in keeping Lauren’s legacy alive and supporting such an important, life-saving initiative.”

Sergio Petrucci, Founder and CEO of Red Sky Foundation, said: “These defibrillators can have a huge impact on cardiac arrest survival rates, and this campaign will enhance the already robust safety standards in place at St Mary’s. We’re thrilled to welcome Southampton Football Club to the growing list of clubs taking part in the initiative.”
