A CHARITY raising funds to install defibrillators around Weston-super-Mare held a presentation at the museum earlier this week.

On Monday, September 9, the Donate For Defib WsM Project Team undertook a presentation to the Weston-super-Mare Civic Society at Weston Museum.

A spokesperson for the charity said: “Josh (Project Lead) spoke on the Donate For Defib WsM Project and its ongoing developments, along with the Defibrillator Legacy Programme, kindly being sponsored by The Elms Funeral Directors.

“The members at the Weston-super-Mare Civic Society were really engaging and asking lots of questions that was great to see, a particular interest in our sponsors, including Howards Motor Group, The Print Hive, Badlam Automotive along with our soon-to-be Online Merch Shop, supported by JD3DP, Mug Express, etc.

“Peter (corporate lead ambassador & professional photographer) spoke on corporate developments and sponsorship which was of interest.

“Christina (deputy project lead) spoke on the fundraising elements of our project, relating to the Enthuse Pages, specific fundraising efforts by many, and more.

“We then had a CPR/Defibrillator Awareness demonstration run by Sarah, one of Donate For Defib WsM Project‘s paramedic lead ambassadors, and it was great to be able to raise further awareness of our work, alongside the Chain of Survival and members being aware of what to do in the event of a Cardiac Arrest, how to access the life-saving defibrillator and how to use the defibrillator, and many had a practice which was great.”
