Defibrillator installed at pub thanks to the efforts of charity volunteers

The Stafford and Cannock League of Hospital Friends have been supporting local hospitals for over 50 years by raising funds to provide many essential items to help the patients and their families, including a new meet and greet service at Cannock Chase Hospital.

Val Jones, Chair, and Martin Thornley, Chief Executive of the Stafford and Cannock branch, presented a defibrillator to Eddie Mulgrew, landlord of the Barley Mow Pub in Milford, Stafford.

Funds to purchase this potentially life saving piece of equipment for the local community and visitors to Cannock Chase, were raised by our wonderful team of volunteers who hold regular events such as bucket collections, market stalls, raffles and table top sales.

The defibrillator has been registered on The Circuit with the British Heart Foundation.
