Monkey Brewhouse regulars in Lymington raise funds for defibrillator

A LIFE-SAVING defibrillator has been installed at a Lymington pub.

Regulars at the Monkey Brewhouse in Southampton Road raised the funds needed to purchase the equipment.

People can access the defibrillator by calling 999 or going into the pub to get the access code to open the cabinet.

The pub’s assistant manager Samm Weeks, who led the fundraising efforts, said: “We are so pleased to now have access to this crucial life-saving kit.

“We launched the fundraiser at our annual beer festival in June and held a raffle to help raise the funds. Our community really came through, with an incredible number of local businesses donating prizes for the raffle.

“We want to say a huge thank you to all of our customers for buying raffle tickets and donating, and to electricians Russell and Green who installed the defibrillator free of charge.”
