The Parish Council have purchased a defibrillator for the community thanks to Ward Pride Funding from Borough Councillors Shirley Reynolds and Charles Smith.
The defibrillator has been sited on the exterior wall at Holy Trinity Church, Wrockwardine Wood and can be used by residents when dealing with anyone in cardiac arrest.
The defibrillator is accessed by a code, which the emergency services will provide once you have dialled 999. The machine then talks you through the process for using the machine.
