In a continued effort to help keep the community safe, we have generously donated £1,000 towards the maintenance costs of several community defibrillators installed by Aidan's Fundraising for Community Defibrillators across Halton.  

This funding, provided via our Helping Hands fund, keeps these life-saving devices remain fully operational and accessible 24 hours a day. 

Aidan, the project leader, expressed his gratitude, saying, "Funding from Halton Housing has ensured we are able to support sites with the maintenance (pads/batteries) of the defibrillators. This has ensured the defibrillators are rescue ready and fully accessible 24 hours each day in case of emergency situations. Keeping Halton #heartsafe." 

Georgina Crank, Social Impact and Engagement Officer added: "We are proud to support Aidan's Fundraising for Community Defibrillators. Our contribution means that these vital devices are always ready to save lives. This partnership reflects our commitment to the health and safety of our community." 

This is not the first time Halton Housing has supported Aidan's initiatives. Back in 2019, we funded several defibrillators, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to community health and safety.
