We are pleased to announce that our application for support funding for a community defibrillator has been approved.
Yorkshire Ambulance Service have granted the parish council funding towards the cost of purchasing and installing a defibrillator, which along with donations from Howden Timber and members of the Royal British Legion, has enabled us to go ahead with the acquisition of the equipment. We now have to go through the mechanics of getting the machine to site and training a number of people in its operation.
A further message will be posted when the machine is installed and ready to use, although we all hope that this will not be necessary.
