` 14 OCTOBER 2019 Lyn Defibrillator Fund The Lyn Defibrillator Fund has been created to help raise awareness and funds to replace our ageing Defibrillators. The current three Defibrillators will be taken out of service very soon as they can no longer be supported by the NHS due to their age as replacement parts cannot be sourced. Our aim is to increase the amount of Defibrillators in the Lyn Valley to cover all areas. We already have one at the Town Hall available 24/7, also one at the Lynton Health Centre, available with a member of staff during opening hours. Four Defibrillators have already been purchased and one of the old Defibrillators has already been replaced and is sited at the Lyndale Tea Rooms. New additional Defibrillators have been installed at the Cottage Inn, telephone box at Barbrook, and on the wall of the ex-Council depot in Belle View Avenue. Thank you to all the proprietors of these properties for allowing this. These four are all live and registered with the NHS so in the event one is needed, any member of the public will be directed to their location. We have now purchased another four Defibrillators and these will be sited very soon at the Cliff Railway bottom station, Lynton Old Village Queen Street, Parracombe, and the location of the final one has yet to be agreed. We have also pledged to make up the shortfall for a Defibrillator at Holman Park for Lynton Football Club which will be part funded by the FA, yet to be finalized. Our initial aim was to raise, with your help, £15,000 for eight Defibrillators and their ongoing maintenance. We have had the full support of the South West Ambulance Service who supplied them, they will also maintain and replace consumables when required, and deliver annual community training for residents of the Lyn Valley area as part of the contract. I would like to thank SWAST, Richard Oaten and Lee Allen for their continued support and for delivering Defibrillator awareness training, without their assistance this would not have been possible. The response we have received has been immense, from private donations, businesses, Exmoor Federation, events, sponsorship and all the collection pots in establishments throughout Lynton, Lynmouth, Barbrook, Parracombe and the whole community of the Lyn Valley area. After purchasing eight Defibrillators we have a healthy balance of £13,700 in the bank. This means that all the donations and pledges to the fund has surpassed all expectations and has now reached some £22,000. We still have donations coming in via collection boxes and other means and I am astounded how this initiative has been supported and would like to personally thank everyone on behalf of the Lyn Defibrillator Fund Team who has donated to the fund to make this possible. We will continue to accept donations and fundraise, and perhaps even add more Defibrillators if we see fit. We will monitor, maintain submit accreditation reports to SWAST and make sure these Defibrillators are available to the public 24/7, 365 days a year, for the benefit of all the residents and visitors in the Lyn Valley Area. Last but not least, I would like to extend a big thank you to all the Defibrillator Team for all their efforts in making this happen.
