School’s new lifesaving kit

A school has a new defibrillator thanks to three fantastic donations.

Clough and Risegate Community Primary School recently took to social media to ask for funds for the life-saving equipment.

Parish councillor Margaret Geaney, local resident Helen Thorley and the Spalding Lions Club all stepped up to the plate.

Lion president Julie Grant and member John Steel joined Mrs Thorley in presenting the defibrilator which is now in place on the outside of the school wall should anyone need it in an emergency.

Julie said: “With this defibrillator in place, it means that the whole community has access should the need arise.

“Spalding Lions were very happy to support this, showing that we are here to help community projects when we can.

“It is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the residents who support us during the year.”
