EDW Valley Young Farmers Club were back carol singing around the local community in December, to raise money to install a new defibrillator at Hundred House Hall for the surrounding community.
Unfortunately, the last defibrillator was stolen in November 2022 and the club felt the importance of their contribution towards a vital lifesaving piece of equipment for the rural community.
On February 5 the new defibrillator and cabinet was installed at the hall.
