Muir Homes Donates £500 Towards New Defibrillator in Pathhead
Residents of Pathhead in Midlothian will soon have access to another life-saving defibrillator thanks to a generous donation from family-owned homebuilder, Muir Homes. The company has donated £500 towards the purchase of the new equipment, adding to the two defibrillators already in place at the bowling club and village hall.
The Pathhead & District Community Association is currently raising funds for the new defibrillator and has reached out to local businesses for support. The exact location of the new device is yet to be determined, but it will ensure that there are ample resources available in case of emergencies.
Defibrillators are kept in secure, heated boxes with access codes provided by 999 operators when needed. Gayle Scott, representing the community association, expressed gratitude for the donation, stating, “We are over the moon with this generous donation of £500 that perhaps one day might help to save a life in the village.”
Fraser Stangoe, Site Manager for Muir Homes at the West Path development, emphasized the importance of supporting such initiatives within the local community. He stated, “Defibrillators like this one might just save a life one day. It’s really reassuring to see so many popping up across the country. We want to enhance the local community and create positive change with our development, and this donation is an important part of that.”
The West Path development by Muir Homes in Pathhead consists of 43 homes with a mix of three, four, and five bedrooms, including affordable housing options. The location is ideal for commuters heading to Edinburgh, making it a valuable addition to the village.
