MINSTEAD TO GET ITS OWN DEFIBRILLATOR!

Additional funds will be needed………..

Following a positive consultation with parishioners the Parish Council has agreed to support a defibrillator being placed centrally in the village. This will be part funded by a generous donation by our local County Councillor and it is hoped that the remaining funds needed (approximately £2000) will be raised locally.  The Parish Council will be considering how best to achieve this but if you have suggestions for fund raising please email them to minsteadpc@googlemail.com or contact the Clerk or any Parish Councillor.

……………and training of volunteers will be essential!

It will important for everyone to realise that while a defibrillator can be a life-saver it is not a substitute for ringing 999 and carrying out basic resuscitation procedures in the case of collapse or sudden cardiac arrest. The Parish Council will arrange for training sessions for basic diagnosis and resuscitation as well as in the use of a defibrillator.  If you are interested in attending a training session, which will last for about 1.5 hours, please email minsteadpc@googlemail.com or inform the Clerk or any Parish Councillor by 15th October 2015.
