The newly refurbished Hive Wellbeing Hub, which reopened earlier this month (6th Jan), have had a fully operational life saving defibrillator installed on the front outer wall of their building, next to the front door.
A defibrillator, sometimes known as an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a small electronic device designed to allow minimally trained people to provide lifesaving defibrillation (electric shock to the heart) to victims of sudden cardiac arrest.
In the event of an emergency, the code to access the AED is available via a phone operator on the number provided upon the units housing.
A pillar in the Salford community, the hub was transformed by a £30,000 refurbishment following an essential fundraising appeal.
The Hive has long been providing life-changing support and welfare advice to Salford residents for many years and is going from strength to strength thanks to the support of the Swinton community.
The recent works on the building allow them to continue to help support and promote residents to gain self-confidence and assist in finding employment in addition to wellbeing support for mental health issues and substance abuse.
The Hive also facilitates free alternative education provision, delivered by the Community Social Inclusion Network (CSIN), which trains and mentors many individuals through difficult periods in their lives.
It has played an integral part in improving the lives of residents in the surrounding area.
Location: 185 Manchester Road, Victoria Park, Swinton, Greater Manchester, M274FA, United Kingdom
