    Defibrillator Instruction Session

    Thursday 8 February 8 pm at Boxted Community Hub

    Boxted Lodgers Football Club has received grant funding for a defibrillator which will be kept at the hub. A highly qualified fire officer is to come to the community hub and give instruction on using the defibrillator and resuscitation techniques.

    The defib, talks to you as you use it so it is not frightening but in a highly charged life saving situation it is helpful if you have had some instruction before.

    The bar will be open so it will also be a social night as well as a highly important instruction night on how to try and save somebody’s life. All welcome.
