Defibrillator for school

A fundraising campaign to provide a village school with life-saving equipment has reached its conclusion.

Weston resident Christine Pepper, along with other parents and grandparents, has been raising money to pay for a defibrillator for the school for some time.

Now thanks to a donation from South Holland district councillor Anthony Casson and the Weston Consolidated Charities, the target has been reached.

Christine lost her only son John to SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) at the age of 39 in 2004 and doesn’t want to see other families go through the pain they did.

She said: “I would like to thank all the people who have given money and supported us with this project and we are delighted that it’s reached its conclusion.”
