This community project aims to train ordinary people in village and church halls, pubs and schools in and around Welshpool on how to become ‘life savers’ in their own communities while the ambulance is on route. After the training session everyone will be equipped with the skills, but more importantly, the confidence of how to use the public access defibrillators now in accessible boxes on walls and in redundant telephone kiosks in the communities.

Having people in the community that have the knowledge gained from these training sessions are even more important now with ambulance stations closing and ambulances waiting outside hospitals.

You never know if you will be on-hand to save the life of a loved one or a complete stranger ..........
