CLOUGHEY COMMUNITY DEFIBRILLATOR

​

In April 2022, a life-saving defibrillator was installed in

the former BT phone box in Cloughey village.

​

Cloughey and District Association organised the 

installation through the Community Heartbeat Trust

with funding from Awards for All, and it will provide

emergency cardiac cover for the area.

The equipment is available should anyone suffer a cardiac arrest. This service is in addition to 

the First Responders service on the Ards Peninsula.

​

KNOWN AS AN " AED " THE DEFIBRILLATOR TALKS YOU

THROUGH THE PROCESS TO SAVE A LIFE.  THESE AED'S

HAVE SAVED MANY LIVES AND IT IS A GREAT ASSET TO 

THE VILLAGE.  AS AMBULANCE RESPONSE TIMES HAVE 

INCREASED IT IS REASURING TO KNOW HELP IS AT HAND

AT A LOCAL LEVEL. USING THE AED IS STRAIGHT FORWARD

AND THE MACHINE GIVES VERBAL INSTRUCTIONS WHEN

BEING USED.

The kiosk and defibrillator will be monitored and 

maintained by volunteers from the CDCA.
