Defibrillator for our community!

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

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! ❤️
