More Exciting News!

Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) site no.7 has just gone live!

Available 24/7, 365, it is located on Southcraig Drive at the junction with Darvel Avenue, KA3 6FW.

A huge thanks to the following people for making this possible:

East Ayrshire Council in conjunction with SWECO for donating the defibrillator and cabinet as part of the ongoing grant scheme.

The McClung family for hosting and taking on the responsibility of doing regular checks on the defibrillator to ensure it is emergency ready.

Dain Art in Irvine for making another post to mount the cabinet on free of charge.

Mark Traynor & Sons for installing another post free of charge.

Allan Electrical Services for another electrical installation free of charge.

I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who stepped up and offered to host and I hope you will agree this is an excellent location.

This PAD is registered with the ambulance service who will give out the access code to the cabinet should it be required in an emergency.

If you are interested in free CPR and defibrillator training please get in touch.

The defibrillator and cabinet were very kindly donated by Lisa's parents Des and James who attended the ceremony, travelling all the way from Solihull accompanied by Lisa's aunt Margie.

Thanks to everyone who attended this poignant occasion and thanks to the Kilmarnock Standard who covered the story, for more information click on the link below.
