The Avenel Memorial Hall committee of management has secured a critical piece of lifesaving equipment thanks to a $2650 grant from Inland Rail.
The funding allowed the committee to purchase a defibrillator and a first aid kit for the hall’s kitchen.
President Nick Muggleton said the committee was delighted to receive the grant.
“We thank Inland Rail and their community sponsorship and donations program for helping make the Avenel community feel much safer,” Mr Muggleton said.
“The defibrillator is installed outside the hall, ensuring it’s readily available for emergency use by the community.”
