A heartfelt commitment to life saving equipment in Ashington

On the same night that many were sharing candlelit dinners, exchanging cards and gifts, and celebrating ‘love’, Ashington Town Council was showing their love for the town, with a heartfelt commitment to life saving equipment.

Back in July, the Council agreed that installing more defibrillators in the town was a project close to its heart. This sentiment was echoed by the town’s County Councillors who did not miss a beat in agreeing to fund the purchase of two each; a total of twelve additional defibrillators for the town.

Seven out of ten people who suffer a cardiac arrest could survive if they received defibrillation and CPR within five minutes. To tackle this ticking clock Cllrs Caroline Ball, Brian Gallacher, Lynne Grimshaw, Jim Lang, Ken Parry and Mark Purvis worked with the Town Council to identify sites that would serve the community well in terms of coverage of this life-saving equipment.
