☀️ The sunshine is sticking around... and so is the heat! 🥵

Whether you're out enjoying the weather or on shift, don't forget to look after yourself in the heat.

💧 Drink plenty of water
🧴 Wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses
👕 Choose light, loose-fitting clothing
💦 Cool your skin with water when you can
🏃 Take it easy and avoid strenuous activity
🌳 Stay in the shade, especially between 11am and 3pm

A few simple steps can help you stay safe and enjoy the sunshine. Stay cool, stay hydrated and take care of yourselves! ☀️💚

On Monday we checked all the Defibrillators and found one had a low battery. The Parish council office was notified and 1 day later new battery arrived and was fitted. Defibrillator now back on line. Then we delivered Basic life support to 18 ladies from a WI group.
Thursday saw Derek on duty and he attended 2 jobs. He is currently on again this morning. Keep safe everyone and hydrated.

If any local groups would like us to attend and deliver Basic life support please get in touch, all we ask is a donation towards our running costs.

Is your defib ready for the summer break?
School holidays and reduced opening hours can affect whether a defib can be accessed in an emergency.

Before the break:
🛑 Closed or changing your hours?
Update your defib’s availability on thecircuit.uk, so 999 call handlers don’t direct someone to a defib they can’t access.

✅ Staying open or keeping your defib available?
Record a status check so ambulance services know it’s ready if needed.

Update now: thecircuit.uk

❤️ Thank you for helping to keep hearts beating.
