More AEDs added

An AED in Cambridge Park is still in place.

Three more AEDs – automated external defibrillators – have been placed in and around Cambridge – one at Unichem in Victoria Street, one at Roto-o-Rangi Hall, and one with the Cambridge Community Patrol.

Heartsafe Cambridge chairman-secretary Henry Strong said the organisation received grants from Grassroots and the Lions which enabled them to provide lockboxes and AED street sights to participating groups.   A grant from Jumble Around helped purchase the AED for the Cambridge Community Patrol.

In his other role, that of St John Volunteer Community Educator, Henry presents a ‘3 Steps for Life’ series of sessions on CPR and the use of an AED.  He has run two sessions for the Community Patrol and will soon run one for the Roto-o-Rangi community.
