The defibrillator is registered on The Circuit, the national database for defibrillators, ensuring it is easy to locate during an emergency. In the event of a cardiac arrest, anyone can access it by following the instructions on the unit.

Rev Danielle Leigh said: “The church are incredibly grateful to London Hearts for their generous support, providing 50 per cent of the funding for this vital resource for the centre of Lichfield.”

Lichfield City and District Councillors Ann Hughes, Claire Pinder-Smith, John Smith, and Sheriff Cathy Wood attended a formal opening ceremony of a new defibrillator at Wade Street Church with Rev Danielle Leigh during their visit for the Annual Civic Service.
