CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure, performed when the heart stops beating. Each year over 30,000 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK, with less than one in ten surviving - giving CPR and using a defibrillator can more than double someone’s chance of survival.

Parish FAQs

Fonthill Gifford headline news

Ticks can be active all year round, but they are most active in the months April to July, and sometimes later in the autumn.
Don't let ticks stop you from enjoying the outdoors but reduce the chance of acquiring a tick bite by:
1. Using a repellent that prevents ticks
2.   Wearing long sleeves and long trousers to reduce direct skin exposure
3.   Keep to clearly defined paths and avoid brushing against vegetation
4.   Regularly check for ticks and brush off any you find immediately
5.   When you’re back indoors, check for any ticks on you, your children and pets
6. If you find a tick, remove it as soon as possible with a removal device
Find out more, including what to do if you're bitten
