ITV Pride of Britain nomination

We had some good news last week that Ian has been nominated for an ITV Pride of Britain Award for his work carried out with the  Defibrillator Partnership.

On Friday , reporter Richard Slee and cameraman Steve Codling attended the Coastguard Station to interview Ian, Peter Wakefield (the nominator ) and later at the United Reform Church an interview with Maggie.

The interview will be screened on ITV Meridian Tonight (6pm) during the week starting 9th October along with the other nominees of the Award throughout the week.

 A final winner is announced after all the nominations have been shown.

This nomination is very special reflecting the hard work of all the coordinators,  guardians, electricians and all those who have so generously donated to fund the devices and cabinets in Swanage and Purbeck area.

SCDP News Update

Whilst everyone has had a busy summer , the partnership has been busy in the background ensuring the devices are rescue ready.

Within a week of being installed the Worth device went to an incident, followed by the URC device which went to an incident during the folk festival.

The workshops continue to encourage the use of the devices in the community.

Pictured above is a recent workshop at the All Saints Church with Maggie and Sophie demonstrating the processes involved.  Sophie has temporary departed Swanage whilst she attends UWE in Bristol so we wish her well in her studies.

We have a big workshop day coming up on the 16th October with workshops at 11am and 7pm at the Methodist Church Hall.
