The Liner Lookout Café situated near Smeaton's Tower is appealing to the people of Plymouth to help raise £1,500 for a new life saving heart defibrillator for the safety of the general public. The public access equipment will be affixed to the café and will enable anyone to use it in an emergency.

A defibrillator is a machine which restarts the heart in the event of a cardiac arrest. If used correctly, can save lives, especially in busy areas where emergency service response times can be longer.

The Liner Lookout Café's owners Ann and David Morrish who recently took possession of the life saving automatic external defibrillator (AED) from the charity, Heartswell South West, said "With events happening all year round on Plymouth Hoe, it makes sense for a defibrillator to be available should the unthinkable happen."
