Northumbria Blood Bikes
Northumbria Blood Bikes visit Powburn
Last night (11 Sep 2018), Hedgeley Women’s Institute had a visit and talk from a representative of Northumbria Blood Bikes.
Several members were surprised to learn that Northumbria Blood Bikes is a purely voluntary organisation that relies solely on charitable donations to carry out its work.

Defibrillator Training Success

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.
Defibrillator relocated to Breamish Hall
Defibrillator relocated
On 5 January 2016, we gave notice that the defibrillator that had been situated outside the Plough Inn in Powburn was to be relocated.
Defibrillator relocated to Breamish Hall entrance (NE66 4HT)
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.
Defibrillator relocation
Important notice!
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.
Consequently, this has resulted in the battery not being charged.
So, in the short term, the defibrillator has been removed from its housing to keep it in good condition.
Accordingly, there is currently no defibrillator in Powburn.
