Geoff Fellows and partner Michael Potts with the new defibrillator In a normal world, celebrating a landmark birthday often involves parties, holidays or drinks with friends but one Penketh resident marked the big 4 0 with the purchase of life saving medical equipment. Geoff Fellows climbed Mount Snowdon for his special birthday, raising funds for a defibrillator machine in Penketh, and he donated all his birthday money to the cause. Now, thanks to help from AED Donate and Tesco Bags of Help, a new defibrillator has been installed outside The Manna House on Warrington Road, meaning someone suffering from a cardiac arrest would be able to receive treatment in an emergency.

A new bat interpretation board has been installed in Warminster s Lakeside Pleasure Grounds. The joint project has been initiated and managed by Sustainable Warminster with Warminster Town Council. It was funded jointly by the Tesco Bags of Help Community Grant Scheme, with tokens collected at the Broadway Tesco store, and the town council parks and recreation committee. A Sustainable Warminster member said: “We want to encourage everyone to get involved in protecting these little mammals and to monitor the bat boxes that people have put up all around town. Trees, hedgerows and dark places are essential for bats. We are very concerned about the lighting and habitat loss impact of the proposed Damask Way housing development.
Nightingale House to bring meals to your door with new delivery service
A new frozen and fresh meal delivery service ‘Meals by Caffi Cwtch’ is being launched by Nightingale House Hospice
Unable to open during lockdown due to Covid restrictions, the hospice’s Caffi Cwtch, with the help of volunteers, started delivering freshly made delicious meals locally last year.
Their current service ‘Meals Matter’ was such a success that it has now expanded its mouth-watering menu and been given a new name – Meals by Caffi Cwtch.
Meals can be collected or delivered and the venture will provide much needed funds for hospice patient care.
