A funeral director has installed a potentially life-saving defibrillator at its premises.
W Bailey & Son Funeral Directors, based in Wisbech, raised funds for the equipment through community events, including bingo nights and tombolas, organised by funeral service arranger Charlotte Walford.
The new defibrillator was installed at the site on October 15.
Lee Nelson, business leader at W Bailey & Son Funeral Directors, said: “We are dedicated to serving our community in all aspects.
“While our primary role is to provide care during life’s final moments, it is equally important to contribute towards preserving life whenever possible.
“This defibrillator will be accessible to all members of the community in case of emergency.”
The project was supported by a donation from the Wisbech Lions Club and a discounted installation from a local electrician.
The company has extended its thanks to Ms Walford, the Wisbech Lions Club, the electrician and everyone who supported the fundraising efforts.
W Bailey & Son Funeral Directors said the involvement of the community was “instrumental” in making the defibrillator available to Wisbech residents.
