Public generosity has fully funded the latest two 24 hour Public Access Defibrillator Units at Washington Crescent and School Aycliffe Community Centre.
These two units take the number of Public Access Units to ten. Woodham Community Centre, PCP, Bay Horse Middridge, Greenfield College (limited access), Navy Club, St Clare’s, Neville Community Centre, Oakleaf Sports Field, 75 Washington Cres, and School Aycliffe.
Another two units, one at Aycliffe Village Community Centre, and one at St Mary’s Church should be fitted soon. Aycliffe Village Residents, together with the newly formed residents group, and the Aycliffe Community Centre Committee should have their unit in by the end of this month.
The friends of St Mary’s Church and the Taylor family, in memory of their daughter Seonaid, are raising funds via the Kick It 4 Seonaid appeal and have several fund raising events planned. Please help them.
Pictured we have the Patterson family, staff and residents of Oswald House who have fully funded and installed a 24 hour unit on the outside of 75 Washington Crescent.
Also pictured are the first residents of School Aycliffe to benefit from the free CPR and Defibrillator Awareness Course run at School Aycliffe Community Centre. This unit again was fully funded by an anonymous donation from an Aycliffe resident.
This latest free CPR and Defibrillator awareness course, funded by all seven of our Durham County Councillors via great Aycliffe and Middridge Area Partnership, has now taken the number of people to gain potential life saving knowledge to 375.
More sessions are being organised at local venues, watch Newton News for dates, venues and times, or contact David Sutton-Lloyd 01325 316144
