South East Cornwall MP and Lion Sheryll Murray was pleased to present Saltash Mayor David Yates with a defibrillator for use in the town with money raised by the Saltash Lions.
Sheryll also met with the many local organisation and businesses at the event and welcomed people from the twinned town of Plougastel with their Mayor.
Afterwards Sheryll said, “I was delighted to attend the May Day celebrations in Saltash and I would like to congratulate Saltash Lions and everyone who helped to organise this fantastic event. I was particularly pleased to meet with so many local Charities and Organisations at their various stands. It was also a pleasure to join the Saltash Lion President Neil Challen to present a defibrillator to the Mayor for the community. There are many benefits of having a defibrillator to hand and this can save lives. This is just one example of how Lions clubs throughout South East Cornwall are helping their communities and shows just how the Big Society really is working.”
