Urban Hair and Beauty Training Academy receive life-saving community defibrillator

Urban Hair and Beauty Training Academy, Auchinleck recently received life-saving equipment donated by Sweco UK.

This unique initiative, devised by the Council’s Health and Safety Service and Procurement, encourages local contractors to donate life-saving equipment for distribution within the communities where they are undertaking work, as part of their obligations to provide wider local community benefits during the life of their contract with the Council.

Applications are welcomed from any community groups and clubs based in East Ayrshire who would like to benefit from this equipment. Further details on how the initiative works and how to apply can be found on  East Ayrshire Council’s wellbeing website, including a list of locations of current defibrillators in East Ayrshire, how to register your defibrillator and information on how to use and maintain the equipment.
