“As this was not the case for Craig-y-Don Sports and Community Centre, it was decided that the croquet club should have its own externally-sited defibrillator, available 24/7 for croquet, winter bowls members and local residents.

“Fundraising began in October 2021, and the £1,600 needed was raised through crowdfunding via JustGiving and another ‘Magic Little Grant’ of £500 from the ‘Localgiving’ charity.”

According to the BHF, to help someone who is in cardiac arrest effectively, a defibrillator needs to be found as quickly as possible.

For every minute it takes for the defibrillator to reach someone and deliver a shock, their chances of survival reduce.

The installation of the defibrillator arrives just ahead of the club’s 10th anniversary, which it celebrates this spring.

Its other recent charitable efforts include raising £12,000 to the spent on renovating the centre’s garden and twin composting toilets.

Last winter, members also renovated its equipment trolleys and gloss-painted its competition hoops thanks to a £500 grant from Sport Wales, so the club and equipment are in excellent condition for the start of its 2022 season on April 1.
