Newport & District Conservative Club
T Installs Defibrillator
he Newport & District
Conservative Club, on the
Isle of Wight, has succesfully
fundraised and received donations
from two Members in order to
install a defibrillator on an external
wall of the Club. This means that
it can be used by any member
of the Club’s local community
should the need arise.
Diane Boughen, the Club’s
Chairman said “We on the
Committee had been considering
holding fundraising events with
a view to buying a defibrillator
after someone collapsed nearby.
Fortunately for us, two of our
members, Ginny & Barry Taylor,
offered to provide the funds which
enabled us to bring the device into
availability sooner than expected.
On behalf of the committee and
membership I offer our grateful
thanks to them both”.
Club Member Barry Taylor said
“Whilst we would like to think it
won’t ever be needed we are aware
there have been incidents nearby.
The device is registered with the
local Ambulance Service via the
NHS Trust and, should an incident
occur within 200 metres, a caller
can be directed to collect it. There Left to right: Barry & Ginny Taylor with Diane Boughen, Chairman, along with the newly installed
