🕊️ Two-Minute Silence | Sunday 8 & Wednesday 11 November

We will observe a two-minute silence at 11am on both Sunday 8 and Wednesday 11 November in Market Place, to remember and honour all those who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.
Our Honorary Bugler will sound the Last Post and Reveille as part of this important moment of national Remembrance. We invite everyone to join us in pausing to reflect and pay their respects.

🌺 Remembrance Parade, Church Service & Wreath Laying

This year’s Remembrance Church Service and Wreath Laying will take place at All Saints Church, Wokingham, on Sunday 8 November at 3pm.
👉The parade will depart from Market Place at 2.35pm, led by St Sebastian Wokingham Band, and proceed along Rose Street to All Saints Church.
Everyone is warmly invited to line the route and watch the parade as it makes its way to the church.
The church service is open to the public, and residents are welcome to attend. Please be aware that seating capacity is limited.

🚧 Brief & Rolling Road Closures
To allow the community to observe the two-minute silences, there will be brief road closures on Broad Street and Denmark Street at 11am on Sunday 8 and Wednesday 11 November.
Rolling road closures will also be in place along the parade route on Sunday 8 November.

🕯️ Visiting the War Memorial

❤️ October is Restart a Heart Month – so let’s talk defibrillators! 🫀

Every minute matters when someone suffers a cardiac arrest. Yet defibrillators are currently used in fewer than 1 in 20 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. That means valuable opportunities to save lives are being missed. 🚨

This could be because:
📍 There isn’t a defibrillator nearby
🔎 People don’t know where their nearest defibrillator is
😟 Bystanders feel unsure or reluctant to use one
❓ People simply don’t know how to use a defibrillator

📍 If you have a defibrillator in Wokingham…If your business, charity, school or organisation has a defibrillator, please make sure it is registered with the British Heart Foundation 👉 https://defibrillators.bhf.org.uk/resources/registering-your-defibrillator

Already registered? Please take a moment to check that the location and the hours when it is available are shown correctly. Some listings are currently out of date, and in an emergency, accurate information could make all the difference. ❤️

🗺️ Know where your nearest defibrillator is....Why not check the locations close to your home and workplace? Visit Defib Finder and enter your postcode 👉 https://www.defibfinder.uk/

You’ll be shown the 10 nearest defibrillators on a map, helping you know where to go if you ever need one.

🫀 Know how to use one.....You don't need to be a medical professional to use a defibrillator. They are designed to be used by members of the public and will provide clear instructions.

The British Heart Foundation has a short video explaining what defibrillators are and how to use them 👉 https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/how-to-save-a-life/defibrillators/understanding-defibrillators-what-they-are-and-how-to-use-them

Please take a few minutes to find out where your nearest defibrillator is and familiarise yourself with how they work. You could help save a life. ❤️🫀

📍 Wokingham Town Council defibrillators

Over the last few years, Wokingham Town Council has installed defibrillators at:

📍 Elms Field – on the wall at Nuffield Health
📍 Broad Street – in the old phone box near the former Post Office
📍 Wokingham Town Hall – available during opening hours
📍 Woosehill Community Centre

Please share this post and help us spread the word. The more people who know where defibrillators are and how to use them, the better prepared our community will be. ❤️
