During 2021 we were delighted that we were able to install Public Access Defibrillators in two locations in the Village.

The first is at the Ainsdale Village Park outside the Tennis Club. This defibrillator belongs to the Ainsdale & Hillside Lawn Tennis Club who kindly agreed to have it located outside of their club for the benefit of all the people of Ainsdale.

The second defibrillator has been fitted opposite the Chocolate Box on Station Road. We originally installed it outside of the Telephone Exchange but there were problems with connecting the power and it was necessary to move it over to its current location. This defibrillator was purchased by Southport Lions for the Village.

The Cabinets to house both these defibrillators and the installation costs were covered by us.

We are most grateful to the Tennis Club and the Lions for their generosity. Of course, we are also grateful for the significant amount of help we received from the Council in fitting the defibrillators.

Together with the ones supplied and fitted by Sacred Heart Church and Ainsdale Methodist Church on their exterior walls, we have a large portion of the Village covered.

Hopefully more will be forthcoming in the near future for other areas of the Village.
