Parish hall

Help is needed to ensure continued availability of this potentially life saving equipment.

In September 2019 raising the sum f £2,500 in the community for this facility and cabinet. Unfortunately is not working at the moment and a like-for-like battery replacement will cost £450 including VAT. Duchy Defibrillators would replace the whole item with a new improved model for £720 and replacement batteries would thereafter be provided within the existing annual fee that currently covers only the periodic replacement of the pads. This would be a considerable saving over the years.

At the moment it is situated at the parish hall due to being a central location but the hall committee is only the “caretaker”. The committee is very small but the trustees of the hall are willing to be a central body for any fundraising. The parish council and the community chest have been approached for a contribution but awaiting the outcome of these requests.

Any community groups, local business or individuals with any suggestions for raising funds, helping or donating please get in touch with Christine Ewings on 01579 362954.
