We have been informed that our application for support funding for the acquisition of a community defibrillator has been approved and the machine is now on order.
It is expected that the machine will be sited on the outside wall of The Burghwallis Pub, and that there will be a number of people trained in its use, including pub staff.
We are very grateful for the donations that have been received from local businesses and individual residents to cover the cost to us of acquiring the machine and of training those who will be using it – though, hopefully, we will never be in a situation where have to put that training into practice!
