Bleed Kits and Defibrillators in Twerton and Whiteway

In September last year, Councillors Tim Ball and Sarah Moore were pleased to see that the 4 bleed kits they paid for from their Ward Empowerment funds, were installed around the community,


These kits have been installed at Rose Cottage, The Centurion Pub, Southside Centre and Bath City Farm. 

Two further kits have been agreed for our area, one of these is to be installed next the Bakers of Bath on Twerton High Street, where Councillor Sarah Moore has also requested a Defibrillator is also installed.

Tim and Sarah are also in discussion with Curo about the installation of a lot more kits to be put around the Twerton and Whiteway area and other Curo locations across Bath and North East Somerset.  We will update you further when this is confirmed.

We hope these will not be needed but it is reassuring to know they are available in case or emergencies.

We would also like to thank Emma Williams, a local resident in Southdown who, with the help of other residents and a number of businesses has raised a significant amount of money separately through a community go fund me page to ensure a lot more kits can be installed in other areas around Bath. The amount raised is amazing and will make a considerable difference to a number of local communities.
