153rd Lusk Scout Group with the help of funding from Fingal County Council Activities Fund, recently installed a brand new public access AED at their Scout Den on Chapel Road in Lusk. This new AED has been registered with the National Ambulance Service. It is accessible 24/7 in a heated cabinet. You can access this AED by giving the location of the AED by calling 999/112 and giving the Eircode (noted on the cabinet) and you will be given the PIN code. Lusk Community First Responders are delighted to have supported 153rd Lusk Scout Den with this project. This now brings the total number of Public Access AEDs in Lusk to 5. Centra Lusk, Dun Emer Avenue (K45 XC65); Lusk United Soccer Club, Rathmore Road (K45 RC80); Cottage Community Centre, Church Road (K45 VE83); Round Towers GAA Club, Hands Lane (K45 PY79); 153rd Lusk Scout Den, Chapel Road (K45 PX99).

On Sunday 8th December, the Round Towers GAA Ladies team will host a bake sale with all proceeds going to Lusk Community First Responders. A member of their team Meghan Kiely, who recently suffered from a blood clot leading to a heart attack, is organising this event to raise awareness of heart health and to ensure that people know the signs and symptoms to look out for. Lusk Community First Responders will be joining Meghan and her team on the day and will be giving demos on CPR and recognition of symptoms. Free Blood Pressure and pulse checks will also be available on the day. See you there from 11am.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Lusk Community First Responders this year. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and New Year.
