SUCCESS FOR THE BROMSASH DEFIBRILLATOR CAMPAIGN
The Bromsash Defib Team is delighted that this life-saving machine is now installed and ready for use. We raised the funds through donations from the public, the Parish Council, the Ross-on-Wye Lions and a fundraising party. Thank you to all those who have contributed so far. The campaign will stay open as we still need to cover the cost of replacement batteries, parts and maintenance, so please make a donation either on the Just Giving website www.justgiving.com/campaign/bromsash-cpad
or contact  bromashdefib@gmail.com.

Free training sessions are being arranged and will be advertised in The Chimes. The defibrillator and bleed pack are situated at the crossroads, on the B4224, at The Forge  HR9 7PJ. The "What three words?" location is RESTORE: RAINWATER: SHEEPISH. It's bright yellow, so very easy to see. Make sure you know where it is - it could save a life.

HEDGEHOG RUNS
Hedgehog numbers have declined in England, Wales and Scotland from 30 million in the 1950s to less than one million.  Reasons for this include loss of habitat, use of pesticides and traffic.  One way to help hedgehogs is to make sure they can travel safely to forage for food and meet mates.  Fences and walls need a 13cm square gap at the bottom to help them roam.  If you would like a free Hedgehogs R Us Highway Surround for your fence or boundary please collect one at the café.  We also have some free leaflets with ten suggestions on how you can help hedgehogs.  
The café is a Linton Parish Council Event.
