On Thursday 19 May the Civic Mayor of Tameside, Councillor Janet Cooper, and her consort, Mr Dennis Fitzpatrick attended the Richmond Street Community Centre, Ashton for the dedication of the new defibrillator mounted in the Centre.
The mayor said she was very pleased that the defibrillator has been fitted as they are lifesavers. She thanked all those who contributed to the fundraising and fitting of the defibrillator. Joy Foster, a member of Place of Welcome, states "It was great that we have been able to raise the funds so quickly".

Earlier this month 10 local groups from Tameside West (Denton, Audenshaw and Droylsden) received funding (of up to £2,000 per group) with the aim of re-building their communities to develop a greener, safer and stronger place to live!
