Heart-start Huisinis

On Saturday, we ran a First Aid training course with the help of the Lucky2Bhere charity. This was scheduled following the installation of a defibrillator on the Huisinis Gateway building. The training session brought together people from all over Harris, and has inspired some to look into fund-raising for other key in-fill sites around Harris.

Huisinis is a small community, located a long way from emergency services. It also hosts over 40,000 visitors each year. This device could save lives. The unit is now operational at the entrance to Huisinis Gateway. We will monitor the equipment and replace consumables when they go out of date.

The equipment at Huisinis, which was partially funded by Western Isles Development Trust, helps fill in the gaps of provision in North Harris.
