Thanks to an initiative by Helen Gibbs, Clerk to Totland Parish Council, the community has been given five public access defibrillators.

These will be placed around the Totland, Freshwater and Shalfleet community in strategic positions that complement and enhance existing sites.

The sites identified are Needles Battery, Highdown Inn, The Waterfront Restaurant, Memorial Hall and Shalfleet Stores.

Thanks also to BHF
Gill Kennett said,

“Thank you to the British Heart Foundation for granting the West Wight these defibrillators and thank you to Totland Parish Clerk for her hard work.”

Now better equipped to immediately offer help
Paddy Noctor said,

“Thanks to this amazing piece of work by Helen we are now better equipped to immediately offer help to the 250,000 visitors we get at Needles New Battery should they have heart problems.”
