North Notts BID is delighted to have installed five new defibrillators for public and business use across the district, thanks to grant funding from the London Heart’s Charity.
The grant, which covers 50% of the cost of the defibrillators and their cabinets, will ensure these life-saving devices are accessible to the public 24/7 at key locations. The defibrillators have been installed in five locations in Worksop and just outside of Retford, located outside of Worksop Miner’s Welfare, Roman’s Rest, Stanley Street Social Club, Samworth Brothers and Elddis Transport.

The defibrillators are all registered on The Circuit, a national database that allows emergency services to locate the nearest device and provide access codes during 999 calls. This ensures that devices are available to the community 24/7 at moments of critical need.

Sally Gillborn MBE, CEO of North Notts BID, added: “These additional defibrillators will further ensure that members of the public and business employees have essential accessibility to defibrillators and guidance at all times should they ever need to be used in an emergency”.
