❤️ GL Communities Is proud to be part of the Public Hearts Defib Campaign ❤️

Every minute counts when someone suffers a cardiac arrest. By supporting the Public Hearts Defib Campaign, we're helping to improve access to lifesaving defibrillators in our communities and raising awareness of the difference they can make.
A defibrillator can significantly increase a person's chance of survival, and together we can help ensure more people have access to this vital equipment when it's needed most.
Thank you to everyone involved in making our communities safer and more prepared. Every fundraiser, volunteer, supporter, and advocate plays an important role in helping save lives. You Can Find Ours Based The Ewe Space at Matson Shops

Big Thank You to Claire Seed From Tidal Training for Suppling and Supporting Our Defib
