Two more life-saving defibrillators have been installed on the Island, thanks to fundraising and local support.

One of the devices has been sited at The Old Comical in St John’s Road, Sandown. Funds were raised through the ComiFest 25 event held in August, and organisers have thanked everyone who contributed.

Another defibrillator has been placed at Fire Safe Training IW Ltd at North Fairlee Farm, Newport.

Steve, from IOW Defibrillators, expressed his gratitude to all involved for helping to provide more public access defibrillators across the Island.
