Together We Made It Happen; Funding Secured for Lifesaving Defibrillator In Newmains
Delighted to announce that, alongside Newmains & District Gala Day Committee and the British Heart Foundation – Scotland, we have successfully secured a defibrillator machine which will be located at Robins Bar, Newmains. 
This is a huge step forward for our community.
Newmains was recently declared a ‘barren zone’ for people experiencing heart attacks, with limited access to these vital life-saving devices.
Having a defibrillator available locally could make all the difference in an emergency — helping to save precious minutes and, ultimately, loved ones life’s.
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make this possible, especially Mary Gilfillan and my team, your support and teamwork show what we can achieve when we come together for the good of our community.
