- GIVE GENEROUSLY FOR THE NEW DEFIBRILLATOR
We need your help to fund Chideock’s new defibrillator which is now positioned on the wall of the Village Store in the centre of the village.
The Chideock WI has successfully managed to obtain a new defibrillator in a smart cabinet for the village but we have to provide 50% of the funding, plus we need to be able to replace the batteries and pads over its expected life span of ten years so we are looking for around £1,000.
There have been a number of occasions recently when a defibrillator has been needed in the village, either for residents or visitors, and we believe that its position in the centre of the village will be of benefit to all. We are very grateful to Martin Cox and his family and the staff of West Dorset Leisure Holidays for hosting the machine and offering to carry out the regular checks that are needed.
The original matched funding payment, which was needed in a hurry to benefit from the offer, was made by Chideock WI but we need to reimburse them for part of that amount. We are most grateful for the donations that have already been received. The Clock have kindly offered to have a collection box on the Bar. Donations can also be made online to Chideock WI – Account Number 00242136, sort code 30-91-21 with the reference Defibrillator/Surname. Donations can also be sent to Mrs Janet Carey, 2 Pettycrate Lane, Chideock DT6 6LB.
Please give generously – any of us could be the next person needing the defibrillator.
