Defibrillator and Emergency Bleed Kit

Just over ten years ago a defibrillator unit was installed in a green cabinet attached to an external wall of the Reading Room, a location that is accessible 24/7.  A new unit has now been installed together with a new piece of kit – an Emergency Bleed Kit.

Parish Cllr Debbie Jones has arranged with local first responders to hold a first aid training session, the content of which will include use of the defibrillator, on Wednesday 19th November 2025. Details of the event have been issued via the village email group and Community WhatsApp Group.

In the meantime, should you have need of the defibrillator or the emergency bleed kit the first action you need to take is to call 999.  The emergency services will direct you to the cabinet (and provide you the code to unlock it) and will continue to support you until the emergency service arrive on scene.

The Parish Council is grateful to Surrey County Councillor Helyn Clack whose support helped to secure a £500 grant towards the cost of the new defibrillator through the
