Popular community pub, the George & Dragon in Yarm has recently had a defibrillator installed by the South Cleveland Heart Fund.

The South Cleveland Heart Fund members, including Dr Davies, recently attended the pub to deliver the cutting-edge defibrillator. Dr Davies has also been teaching General Manager Graeme and Kitchen Manager, Sarah to teach them how to use the defibrillator in order to provide vital basic life-saving support skills.

The George & Dragon is a true community hub and plays a part in the lives of many individuals. While the pub is a place to enjoy a refreshing drink, delicious food and great entertainment, Graeme and the team do all they can to give back and support local and national charities and causes as well as being a friendly face for all their guests.

The installation of the defibrillator came about through the pub’s loyal customers and the pub team raising money to purchase the equipment, to help keep each other and the community in Yarm, safe.

The South Cleveland Heart Fund operates across Teesside, Cumbria, North Yorkshire, and Durham. The charity aims to support heart patients at St James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. With the money they receive through fundraising and donations, they can support patients and pay for equipment such as the defibrillator the George & Dragon received.

Graeme said: “As a community-focused venue, we are very humbled to have a defibrillator fitted at the George & Dragon. We understand the importance of having life-saving equipment readily available in the event of an emergency, and we take pride in knowing that our customers and individuals within Yarm have access to this vital resource.”

“Being at the heart of the local community is important to us and we are very lucky to have our customers who continually support us, and we try and do all we can for them. I am very thankful for all our customers and team members who have gone above and beyond to help us get this equipment for the site.”
