Callington has another defibrillator following the installation of a new unit at Callington Town Football Club.

The new unit has been installed on the clubhouse wall by the Ginsters Marsh Pitch and brings the number of defibrillators in the town to four.

‘The issue of cardiac arrests around football has been in the news for a few years now and it is vitally important that we now have the facility to potentially save lives,’ said club secretary Andrew Long. ‘Whilst we hope we never have to use it, now we have the facility just in case. We will now be looking to make sure as many people as possible know how to use and access it so we can provide that level of support if needed.’

As well as at The Marsh, Callington Town Hall and The Swingle Tree pub have defibrillators along with the sports centre at Callington Community College itself.
