Last week saw the long awaited Defibrillator course taken by Dave Jones, no, not the pirate, Dave Jones from West Yorkshire Ambulance Services.
Dave talked 20 coaches through the course, instructing on the proper procedure for calling the Emergency Services and using the Defibrillator which Churwell Lions coaches, parents and supporters raised £1,600 for over 2015.
Churwell Lions invited some Teachers from Bruntcliffe Academy aswell as some coaches from local club Gildersome Spurs as they also use the facility at Bruntcliffe Academy.
Churwell Lions decided it was important to get this Life Saving Equipment at our facilities as a precaution due to the amount of people accessing the 3g & Grass pitches there, along as the Academy pupils, teachers & visitors.
Lee Orton, the Founder of Goals4Hearts also attended the course from whom we purchased the Defibrillator, Lee prides himself in supporting local clubs and schools by providing the best equipment he can and getting as many Defibrillators out in Yorkshire as possible, you can find out more info about Goals4Hearts here http://www.huddersfieldgoals4hearts.co.uk/ and also follow hem on Twitter at http://twitter.com/Goals4Hearts
