    Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of the Kelburn community, we’ve now installed an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) outside St Michael’s Church, next to the bus stop.

    For the exact location of the AED, please refer to this link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vDv1tMYiy2A4JF6m9

    This project has been a true community effort, and I want to say a sincere thank you to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, or offered words of encouragement along the way. Your kindness has made a real and lasting difference. This AED could one day help save a life. And a special thanks to the Fraser and O’Connor families.

    How to Use the AED in an Emergency:

    Call 111 and ask for the access code

    Enter the code into the AED cabinet

    Open the cabinet door

    Remove the AED

    Follow the spoken instructions from the device

    If you'd like a quick overview on how to use an AED, this short video is a great place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0GtFIKCRkI

    Thanks to Wellington Free Ambulance, the AED will be maintained to ensure it is in working order.

    Thank you again for being part of something so important. This AED belongs to all of us.

    Thank you! ❤️
