VILLAGERS in Pulham have celebrated the launch of a public access defibrillator at The Halsey Arms.
The event gave people the chance to see the device, ask questions, sign up for training and to volunteer as a runner.
Covid-19 delayed initial fundraising but within six months of launching the project this year, the device was installed – quite an achievement for a small village.

The British Heart Foundation, which part-funded the device, has a useful online training tool anyone can access – visit bhf.org.uk/revivr for a free 15-minute lesson on lifesaving CPR.
The project team would like to express thanks to everyone who has supported them and donated the funds – this includes local businesses, Wessex Morris Men – who hold practice nights in the village hall Pulham Church Fete and many individuals.

Thanks also go to Johnny Adams and the team at The Halsey Arms for agreeing to site the device at the pub and for hosting the launch event, PN Gray Electricals for installing it and to Crestmoor Training for providing training sessions for residents and workers in Pulham.
