Defibrillator Installed at Our Parish Hall

The Parish Council are pleased to announce the arrival of the defibrillator. Some of you may have noticed its new home on the side of the village hall. The defibrillator has been purchased for the use and well- being of the whole community and special consideration was given to our village school. Should the need arise the machine can be administered to all ages; the machine is presented with instructions and will talk you through the process.

The Devon Ambulance Trust will be running a training day in the autumn or when it is safe to do so (dependent on Covid-19) and we would recommend as many of you attend as possible. You never know when you might need to help someone or need assistance yourself. The Parish Council will keep you updated as to when and where the course will be held.

A big thank you goes to all those who have assisted in the research and installation and let us all hope we don’t ever need to use it.
