Defib 2
Our second Public Acces Defibrillator was unveiled on Tuesday 18th July by the mayor of Banbury Colin Clarke, along with representatives of Spratt Endicott who helped enormously with the fundraising.
We are hoping to install a third defibrillator soon. Keep checking our defibrillator page for news.
Diabetes Screening
On Sunday 16th July, we hired the Banbury town hall for a couple of hours to offer FREE screening. Clare and Sue from Lloyds Pharmacy came along and tested 34 people - most of whom were given the all clear, but there were a couple who were invited to go through a more detailed check. We need to raise awareness of this very important issue - click here, or do please feel free to contact us with any questions.
We may run another event soon - keep checking back for details.
