Check out this amazing good news story featuring Don Valley Academy in the Doncaster Free Press
A community campaign has seen a defibrillator installed outside one of Doncaster’s biggest secondary schools as well as other locations in the town. The unit has been placed outside Don Valley Academy on Jossey Lane in Scawthorpe, while others have also been installed across Doncaster Council’s Roman Ridge ward after a push by councillors.
Coun Leanne Hempshall said: “It came about when we realised the lack of defibrillators in the ward.
“There are now 3,000 known across Yorkshire and three have been activated and saved lives around Doncaster within the last few weeks.”
There are now four defibrillators in the Roman Ridge ward – at Cusworth Hall, opposite Aldi in Scawsby and at Amersall Court.
The defibrillators are available for public use 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
She said: “We were blown away by the support and the result was these CPADs (Community Public Access Defibrillators).
