Defibrillator
A new defibrillator has been
installed in Chavey Down, unveiled by Councillor Nigel Atkinson
representing Winkfield Parish Council and Reverend Patrick Mukholi of St
Martin’s Church Chavey Down. The defibrillator has been purchased and
installed using donations from the Parish Council, Department of Health
& Social Care and the local table tennis club. Council Atkinson said
"We’re pleased to provide a donation towards this new defibrillator for
the residents of Chavey Down and congregation of St Martin’s Church. It’s also
great to see local residents actively involved in the defibrillator training”,
Reverend Mukholi added "It's always a great feeling to see a community
rally together for such a universally helpful project. I am sure this
defibrillator will save many lives in the days and years to come. Thanks be to
God"
Installed on the outside wall of the
church hall in Chavey Down and available 24 hours a day the defibrillator joins
an important network of life saving devices covering the local area and will be
maintained by the local church.
In an emergency, it can be accessed by
calling 999 and following the instructions.
