We had a really fun time delivering training in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation in Old Hunstanton on Saturday.

The training was well-attended by a group of very sociable people who were keen to learn as much as possible. Well done all.

Here are some pictures (with consent).

COMMUNITY CENTRE DEFIBRILLATOR

UPDATE - the defibrillator has been returned so, thank you to whoever returned it. It has been checked and is now ready for use again.

______________
I'm so sorry that someone needed to use the defibrillator kept at Walpole Community Centre but I'm relieved that it was available and ready to use. I truly hope that it was of benefit.

If whoever has it could let me know and I will happily collect it so that it's available again asap.

Many thanks

Janet

UPDATE
Beth and all the wonderful members of the ladies darts team raised a whopping £480 for our group! That's absolutely amazing - thank you all for your generosity and making me feel welcome.

I was given £5 by Patricia Shaw to buy some raffle tickets, with the instructions to try to win something for my grandson. I won a tin of Polar Express biscuits and he's a very happy boy (he's got the tin and the biscuits are under guard 🤣). Thank you Pat and thank you everyone 🙏👏

Don't forget to join us this evening 🙂

Here's another date for your social diaries! Come along and join us for an evening of fun :-)

Well Robert Gay and his supporters at Walsoken Village Hall 2021 have done it again! They have raised £977.50 for our group at today's bingo 👏. We would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone as this money will help us to buy much needed equipment - we're still using some old, secondhand phones and kit bags. Thank you all again 🙏
