STITHIANS PUBLIC ACCESS DEFIBRILLATOR SUPPORT GROUP
Our Group was delighted to be awarded the cost of our second and third Public Access Defibrillators by the Trustees of the former Men’s Institute following the sale of their building.
On June 14 2015 Robin and Alex Taylor invited everyone to join them in the garden and grounds at Trevales House (Grade 2 listed).
The event was very well supported raising a considerable sum towards the overall purchase cost.
The varied entertainment on the day is summarised below.
The initiative was originally suggested by Stithians W. I. who hosted the initial public meeting and covered the costs thereof.
At that meeting a small ad hoc committee was formed to drive the initiative forward.
Most of those on the committee have involvement in other organisations within the village, but do not necessarily represent those organisations on this committee.
The initial lead was taken by Yvonne Toms, who was then President of Stithians W. I. and former General Secretary of Stithians Show.
We have worked in conjunction with F.L.E.E.T. (Front Line Emergency Equipment Trust) an established Cornish Charity who source and install the equipment.
If anyone is interested in joining our committee and assisting with fund raising efforts please get in touch - see menu item "Get in touch".
The annual costs of maintaining the units in a state of permanent readiness is some £1200 per annum.
