Kath receives a medal for 30 years’ voluntary work

MONEY raised in the Rotary Club of Brighouse’s annual Tree of Light appeal has been used to purchase two community defibrillators.

The defibrillators, used to save the lives of heart attack victims, are installed outside Colins News near Hipperholme traffic lights and outside Millers Bar in Briggate, Brighouse. They are registered with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service and are available in case of need 24/7.
