The club supported by donations from individuals and businesses in Guildford, purchased the defibrillator which has been positioned in busy Tunsgate facing the entrance of the Castle Grounds.

A small ceremony to mark the event was held on Friday (September 1) and was attended by Guildford’s MP Angela Richardson, club president Jonathan Reading, club member and British Heart Foundation fundraiser Shirley West BEM, John Reeves fundraising organiser at the club and Hon Freeman Keith Churchouse and Esther Dadswell from Chapters Financial.

Angela Richardson said: “It was a pleasure to attend the ceremony last Friday and see the new defibrillator in place opposite the Castle Grounds. It will make a huge difference to our town with the potential to save lives in the community.

“I commend all involved in the fundraising initiative including the Castle Green Bowling Club and the various supporting donors and businesses. It is a fantastic example of how our community can come together and deliver positive change for the people of Guildford.”

And club member Shirley West BEM said: “Defibrillators save lives so it’s good that we have one positioned by Tunsgate and the Castle Grounds which is said to receive 400,000 visitors each year.”
