AED UPDATE
Our AED was a few years old and replacement batteries and pads (which were close to needing replacement) are no longer available. So we've replaced it with a shiny new one! This has a couple of features the old one didn't - there's a switch for use with children (under eight) and a metronome to help keep rhythm when delivering cardiac compressions. While AEDs are designed to be used without training (it tells you what to do when you open the lid) if you are a regular user of the community centre or a nearby resident why not check out this short video to be well prepared - just in case? There are shears for cutting clothing, vinyl gloves and a razor stored in the front zipped pocket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLiZOi0kzUs&pp=ygULbWluZHJheSBjMWE%3D
