We hope to purchase on a pay forward scheme, a lifesaving Defibrillator, to be installed on the outside wall of our local Scout hut on Cartwright Street. It is intended that the defibrillator will be accessible to the whole Newton community in the event of anyone suffering a cardiac arrest and needing the use of lifesaving equipment before a paramedic arrives.

You may be aware that there used to be a Defibrillator on the gym at the corner of Cartwright Street, unfortunately when the gym closed the box was decommissioned and the defibrillator was moved to an unknown address.
