We Donate £500 to Support Community Defibrillator Installation in Rossendale

We donated £500 to aid in the installation of a new Community Public Access Defibrillator (CPAD) at Brand Interiors on Burnley Road, Crawshawbooth. This vital life-saving equipment is positioned adjacent to our Woodside development, providing 24-hour access for the local community.

A community tool to help save lives

The defibrillator, housed on an external wall in the lower car park of Brand Interiors, is designed to be user-friendly, allowing anyone, regardless of training, to assist a person experiencing cardiac arrest. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance public health and safety within the Rossendale community.

Dawn Taylor, Treasurer of Community Defibs for Rossendale (CDfR), said: "We are delighted with this most recent installation of public access to life-saving equipment in Rossendale. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who have contributed, especially Taylor Wimpey and Rossendale Borough Council's Community Partnership Group, for their kind donations. Additionally, we appreciate Brand Interiors Ltd for agreeing to host the unit. CDfR is proud to have donated the housing unit."
