Flyfolds Hall in the lovely village of Grafton Flyford, Worcestershire is the site of our latest donation.

The villagers understand the importance of having a defibrillator close to hand as they have had two incidents in recent years.

Sally met with William, Penny and Janette, all whom are on the Community Centre committee to hear their stories.

The parish council covers Flyford Flavell, Grafton Flyford and North Piddle. A beautiful part of the country and a fantastic location for a life saving device.

Here is Ruth Ngwata, founder of the Coventry Empowered African Women Group together with Ade Johnson, Business Developement Manager of Coventry Central Hall the site of our latest donation.

Ruth applied for a defibrillator for the Hall as it is an inclusive, justice seeking Methodist Church, nurturing and celebrating faith hope and love in the community.

Each week, 100’s of people from all walks of life enter their doors. Whether you come along on a Sunday morning for Worship, enjoy a delicious midweek lunch from their Wesley Fusion Kitchen, hire a space for a business meeting, attend one of the dozens of community led groups, or simply pop in to use the toilets while in the city, they want you to know that you are most welcome.

A great place for defibrillator.

This week Sally visited the Gurdwara in Walsall, the site of our latest donation.

She met with Sukhi, who spearheaded the campaign for the donation. Her mother sadly died last year at home due to a cardiac arrest and so she knows only too well about the benefits of having a public access AED close by.

A trained nurse she now volunteers with the WMAS through their free life saving training campaign helping to raise awareness of CPR and AED use, particularly with BAME communities where language and accessibility can create barriers. She is passionate about empowering all backgrounds with the confidence and knowledge to respond in an emergency.

Sukhi is someone who believes in putting her community first and the Trustees felt her application was well deserved.

Harry and Sally spent a fabulous hour with the Mount District Girl guides # and the two District Commissioners, Jayne and Jo.

With the help of Ben and Jack, the defibrillator was installed for the benefit of the surrounding community.

The girls range from 4-18years old and start as Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and finally as Rangers.

The team are all volunteers and work tirelessly and a more cheerful bunch of wonderful girls would be difficult to find.

Jayne said ‘To watch the girl who was challenging when she started with us become the girl that made you cry when she left because she was so delightful, confident and ready and excited for the next challenge makes it all worthwhile.

Harry received a Charities badge from the girls and was thrilled.

Andrew Ross decided to support the HAJMT and donated a public access AED to his local pub, the Bull Inn in Ticehurst.

Training was arranged and three weeks later a gentleman having had lunch was walking back home and suffered a cardiac arrest. The emergency services were called, a staff member ran with the defibrillator, shocked him and helped save his life.
