Defibrillator

A Defibrillator for Wanlip Village

At the November the 16th village meeting it was agreed unanimously, to purchase a defribrillator for the village. This is a significant undertaking and one that reflects the community spirit of our village. 


We have decided to lease the device from the Community Heatbeat Trust (CHT) and to use its expertise to guide us through this project. CHT has helped over 2500 communities to implement a defibrillator. 


In January the definullator was installed, in a cabinet on an external wall of the Church Hall which is located beside the Church. CHT will then run awareness sessions for everyone in the village to become familier with its use.   Dates and timings will follow shortly. 

The Defibrillator location is indicated on the map above and is identified by a sign on the side of the Church Hall

WANLIP COMMUNITY NATURE GROUP

The Wanlip Community-Nature Charter asks residents to support the Community Nature Group and to do what they can to encourage and support Nature in their gardens and around the village.

 

The proposed Plan subject to ratification by the Village Meeting


The Nature Group was formed to identify, advise and implement initiatives that the Parish Meeting and residents can do to bring about improvement in our environment.  Specifically, it will:

 

Identify environmental supporting actions that residents could do in their gardens.

Give guidance on where residents can get practical environmental advice.

Form links with local organisations such as Severn Trent and The Wildlife Trust to exchange information.

Report to the Parish Meeting concerning actions being taken by the government and local councils to improve the environment.

Support the Parish Chairperson on issues relevant to nature.

Use village Fayres to promote practical ideas, particularly those that children can engage with to improve their knowledge.

Organise talks on relevant subjects of interest.

Lead any special nature projects.


To implement the above plan the group will


Nominate a member of the group to be a lead person for each element of the plan.

Produce information sheets to support residents find information to improve their garden environment.

Report on progress, as things develop, to the Parish Meeting and residents.

Manage a small budget for practical items.

Welcome suggested subjects for investigation from residents.
