Lifesaving equipment installed in Ravenfield

New lifesaving equipment has been installed at Ravenfield Common.

The defibrillator that was installed on The Cavalier pub has been upgraded with a new defib unit and a bleed kit has been added.

A new combination cabinet, containing a lifesaving bleed kit and defibrillator has replaced the old defibrillator unit in Ravenfield Common. 

The new equipment is attached to The Cavalier pub on Hollings Lane. This is available for members of the public to use in an emergency. 

Councillor Mills and Councillor Reynolds approached Ravenfield Parish Council about introducing a bleed kit in the area and the Parish Council thought it was a brilliant idea! With this in mind, Ward Councillors, Mills and Reynolds part-funded the new lifesaving equipment using their Community Leadership Fund, with the Parish Council funding the addition of a new defibrillator. 

Our thanks must extend to The Cavalier's Landlady, Nicola Jackson, and Landlord, John Jackson, who have been very supportive of the project.

Pictured with the kit are (left to right): Councillor Greg Reynolds, Councillor Lewis Mills, John Jackson, Parish Councillor Karen Jay, Parish Councillor David Rowley (Chair) and Parish Councillor Neil Pearson.
