Lizzie Jones unveils new defibrillator at primary school
The equipment was unveiled by Lizzie Jones, wife of the late former Halifax RLFC star Danny Jones who died after suffering a cardiac arrest in 2015, along with the school council members who had helped to fundraise towards the cost of installing the machine.
The school also expressed its gratitude to the Rotary Club of Elland and to the Lower Valley Community Group, who have both contributed funds towards the cost of the defibrillator, and also to Sovereign Health Care Charitable Trust who supplied the appropriate machine.
