Defibrillators save lives and more and more village halls across the UK are recognising their importance, particularly in remote rural communities. Hi everyone, I’m Johnny Thomson and welcome to The Village Halls Podcast sponsored by Allied Westminster, the UK’s is largest specialist provider of village hall insurance and the home of VillageGuard. Now, whether you’re interested in football or not, it was difficult not to be aware of a dramatic story involving Christian Eriksen during Denmark’s Euro 2020 game against Finland last summer. The player collapsed towards the end of the second half suffering a cardiac arrest and thanks to the quick thinking of one of his colleagues, the presence of a fantastic medical team and a vital piece of equipment, he survived and is now returning to the game just eight months later. My guest today is Martin Fagan, who is Secretary of The Community Heartbeat Trust, a charity which aims to help communities provide defibrillators to save lives. Welcome to the show Martin and thanks for joining me today
