The Defibrillator was purchased through the North West Ambulance Service Chain of Survival scheme and the training is being provided free of charge by John McDonald of Firstaid Plus Lancashire.  Firstaid Plus have just completed their first season as Preston Grasshoppers match day first aid providers.

Money to purchase the defibrillator was raised at the Billy Johnston Testimonial Match on Boxing Day. Particular thanks to generous donations from Joe Douglass at Kin-Tec who also contributed to the costs.
