Blakesley & Woodend Defib Group
The Blakesley and Woodend Defib group was formed in 2014 with the initial intention of funding the installation and maintenance of a defibrillator for the village.
Since then we have expanded our scope to provide additional wellbeing initiatives for the community. Our current project is the installation of a village garden at the playing field, along with planting of over 6,000 bulbs throughout the village.
You can donate money to the group at any time, all funds are used for the maintenance of the Defibrillator and the village amenities we have funded.

Progress with the Village Garden!
Just an update on where we are with the garden plans.
We have moved the location slightly to get a bigger area for the garden. The plan is now to put the garden to the right of the gate as you enter the playing field. Our volunteer team have been out in force over the past week and have dug over the bed and added manure, ready for planting.
It's also not too late to donate, thanks to everyone who has donated so far!

Defibrillator Launch
In 2014, a fund raising drive was held to get an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) situated in Blakesley. This was successful and at the end of 2014, William Sitwell officially "opened" the defibrillator. The defibrillator is situated on the wall of Browns of Blakesley, just near the right hand window as you look at the shop.
All Blakesley residents have been issued with key fobs which have the code on to open the cabinet, and magnets which have instructions on what to do in the case of an emergency. If you do not have a magnet or key fob, please contact Vicky Norman or Kate Nash
