Community gets behind
life-saving project
Stewarton folk have put their support behind a
charity project to save lives in the area.
St John Scotland’s group of volunteers in Ayrshire
& Arran have been working with the Stewarton
Boys’ Brigade to raise money for a Public Access
Defibrillator. The device was purchased and installed
late last year outside the John Knox church on the
High Street.
Since it was put in place, the groups have held
a training event [22 Feb] where more than 50
locals came to learn how to do CPR and watched
demonstrations of how to use the defibrillator should
they ever need to.
Chair of the local St John Scotland committee, Rose-
Ann Cuninghame, said: “It was great to see so many
people of all ages come along to learn about cardiac
arrest and how to do CPR. We had lots of people
who had seen the defibrillator installed and wanted
Volunteers teach locals CPR and demonstrate the use of a
defibrillator at the training event in Stewarton
to find out what it was all about, and they were
surprised to see how easy it was to use. Thank you to
all the volunteers who delivered the training, and to
everyone who came along to learn how to save a life.”
Following the successful event, the volunteers are
now raising money to provide another Public Access
Defibrillator in Ayrshire.
St John Scotland are hosting a fundraising coffee
morning on Saturday 14th March at St Columba’s
Church Hall in Stewarton from 10am – 12.30pm.
Tickets cost £3.50 and can be purchased on the
door or by contacting 01560 484050.
step up to stewartons walking football sessions
Through vibrant communities I have become involved with the Walking Football
session on a Friday morning at the Stewarton sports centre. We start about 11.15am to
do a wee warm up before getting into games and then do a wee cool down at the end
of the session. If your over 50 male or female, everyone is welcome and still want to
keep fit and have fun, and fancy a kick about on a Friday morning come along and join
us. It's a fantastic way to socialise and you don’t need to have any experience in playing
football, it's rather straightforward and the guys are a great bunch to get along with and
very welcoming. Fingers crossed see some new faces soon.
