There’s no greater gift than the gift of life and that’s exactly what the Wight Strollers gave again this Christmas when they donated another two Public Access Defibrillators (PADs) to the IW NHS Trust Ambulance Community Defibrillator scheme.
The two new PADs were installed at the Sportsman’s Rest in Porchfield (pictured above) and The Sun Inn in Hulverstone (pictured below).
Thanks to proceeds from their performances the Wight Strollers have now donated a total of nine Public Access Defibrillators (PAD’s) to the scheme; the latest additions were funded from their last musical, Priscilla.

Present for each of the photo shoots was; the new PAD site guardian, the Wight Strollers and representation from the IW NHS Trust Ambulance Training & Community Response Services (ATCoRS).
