The latest community public access defibrillator has now been installed at the Washington Cricket Club in Rickleton. For a few years the club has held a defibrillator within their clubhouse and wanted to make this available as a community resource. Adrian Wood, Chair of the Cricket Club, worked with Rotary Washington Forge to have a secure external cabinet fitted to make this potentially life-saving equipment available at all times to the local community.
Our thanks go to Cllr Louise Farthing who supported most of the funding through a Washington Area Committee grant, and to local electrician Len Cole who contributed to the project by carrying out the installation.
