The Lytham St Anne’s community has a reason to celebrate as the local defibrillator is now back in action Thanks to Lytham St Anne’s Skip Hire the lifesaving defibrillator was restored just in time for the Christmas light switch-on event, which was held on Saturday, November 18th. The defibrillator was temporarily out of service for pad replacement but has now been securely placed back in its cabinet, ready to provide lifesaving assistance if needed.

Joe Gillett, co owner of Lytham St Anne’s Skip Hire says, ‘ The 2 defibs that we already have in place have both been used on numerous occasions therefore it is inevitable that this new defib is going to save somebody else’s life in the coming years. ‘

Together, we can continue to make Lytham St Anne’s a safer place for everyone during emergencies.

Cheryl Pickstock, Interim Community Resuscitation Manager for the Cumbria and Lancashire Area North West Ambulance Service, has already expressed her appreciation by saying, ‘It’s great to see public access defibrillators in the Lytham St Anne’s area and companies such as Lytham St Anne’s Skip Hire being so proactive to provide an Automated External defibrillator (AED) to the community.

Cardiac arrest is different to a heart attack where there is no warning and therefore often happens in a public place, so having public access defibrillators in the community really does save lives.” ⚡
