Ardara Community First Responders has extended a heartfelt thank you to the PFA (Poor Farmers Association) and St Mary’s Primary School for "their incredibly generous donations."
The group posted: "Thanks to your support, we have been able to purchase 12 new defibrillators and additional training equipment for our community.
"These new public access defibrillators will replace the existing units across the area and come with a five-year lifespan on batteries and pads, helping to ensure reliable, life-saving equipment is available when it is needed most.
"The Covid-19 pandemic was a particularly challenging time for many CFR groups, and bringing new volunteers to ‘live’ response status can be a long and demanding process. However, we have been working hard behind the scenes to rebuild and strengthen our group.
"We are proud to currently have six trained volunteers ready to respond to specific category calls when alerted by the National Ambulance Service, and we look forward to continuing to grow our team over the coming year. Your kindness and community spirit make a real difference. Thank you for helping us keep Ardara safe."
