FELPHAM’S NEW LIFE SAVER BY RUSS MARSDEN-SEAR

We are delighted to announce Felpham now has a brand new defibrillator right in the ‘heart’ of the village. The life saving equipment was bought and installed by Stomps, a local group of line dancers, and the Local Residents Alliance. The machine itself is one of the latest designs available and can be used on both children and adults. It is fully automated meaning that it can be operated by anyone with a simple two-button procedure. In emergency situations the unit will take over by checking pulses and only giving a shock to the patient if necessary. It will even store vital data that an ambulance crew can download when they arrive.

The idea came about when one of the dancers sadly lost her husband to a heart attack two years ago. Mrs Pat Young, together with Stomps and the Local Residents Alliance set about raising funds to buy a machine that someday could save a life. Quizzes, raffles and a few cake sales later they finally reached their target. Mrs Pat Young said: “I’m absolutely thrilled we’ve reached our target and have had this defribillator installed. My husband, Mike Young, sadly died after having a heart attack. Before he retired he worked as a senior fitness instructor so it only proves it doesn’t matter how fit and healthy you are things like this can happen to anyone, anywhere and anytime.”

The new defibrillator is located at the main entrance outside Felpham Memorial Village Hall in Vicarage Lane and is available 24/7. Anyone who needs to access the defibrillator in an emergency should phone 999 immediately. They will then be given a code to open the secure box.

If you want to learn how to use our defibrillator or see how it works, we will be holding an open afternoon on SUNDAY 25 JUNE 2023 at Felpham Memorial Village Hall, Vicarage Lane at 1pm and 2.30pm. Come and enjoy our complimentary refreshments, there is no need to book.

Remember: 999 – OPEN – USE – SAVE A LIFE
