The village now has a defibrillator which is located at Londis store. Jackie Taylor-Green has been trained in its use. The device is designed to be used by the public without training as it guides a user step-by-step. This has been made possible through a grant from our County Councillor, Adam Carew. An application has been made to our District Councillor, Yvonne Parker Smith, for funding for an exterior case so that the machine is available at any time.

Get Active East Hampshire is here to help you achieve a more active and healthier lifestyle. See the website www.getactivenow.org.uk.
