The Isle of Wight Youth Trust offers a wide range of services to young people aged 5-25 struggling with their mental health. The organisation has now got a defibrillator with thanks to the help of Glanville’s Damant Legal Services and Good Skills Training for donating the money to supply this.
All expenses were covered by Good Skills Training and Glanvilles Damant. After providing some workplace first aid training for the Youth Trust staff, Barry from good skills training wanted to learn more about the Youth Trust and share his support by donating towards the defibrillator and Glanvilles Damant, who chose the Isle of Wight Youth Trust as their charity of the year, decided to top up the donation.
Dare: We can make a positive change to our local community
Jo Dare, CEO of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, stated,
“We are thrilled to have been shown the support and generosity from Glanville’s Damant and Good Skills Training, to be able to supply the defibrillator to our staff, clients, visitors and local community.
“Training for all our staff will soon be available on how to use the defibrillator.
“Through this act we can make a positive change to our local community.”
Barry from Good Skills Training said,
“Reason is to support the local community I live in, and the Youth Trust is an extremely important part of our community, so to donate towards a defib to enable them to have access to life saving equipment if needed was all the inspiration we needed to donate!”

Cat Kureen, business manager at Glanvilles Damant, stated,
“We were delighted to contribute towards the defibrillator which has been installed at the Isle of Wight Youth Trust.
“It is so important that when a medical emergency arises and time is of the essence that defibrillators are easily accessible and readily available, giving the patient the greatest chance of a positive outcome.”
The portable defibrillator will be held at the Youth Trusts main office at 114 Pyle Street Newport and will be accessible not only to staff and visitors, but also the public and local businesses during the hours of 8.30am-18.30pm on a Monday to Thursday and 8.30am-16.30pm on a Friday.
