There was a good turnout for the free Defibrillator Training at Bolton Village Hall on Monday 14 May 2018.
The Stephen Carey Fund ran the training session with excellent demonstrations in how to provide effective CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator.
Three new defibrillators have been bought by the Carr-Ellison Family Trust for Hedgeley Parish. They are located at Beanley, Hedgeley Hall and Bolton Village Hall.

On 5 January 2016, we gave notice that the defibrillator that had been situated outside the Plough Inn in Powburn was to be relocated.
Robbie Burn (Chair, Hedgeley Parish Council) has now confirmed that the defibrillator has been relocated to the entrance (in the porch) of Breamish Hall, Powburn and is now fully functional.
The automated external defibrillator in Powburn has been located outside the Plough Inn for a number of years. However, now that the pub has closed and been boarded up, the electricity to the defibrillator housing box has been shut off.
Effective CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator will increase the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest
