  • Local Defibrillators Fulking
    Local Defibrillators If you are planning a cardiac event then it makes sense (i) to have it in a location that has a defibrillator available, (ii) to have with you a companion who knows exactly where the defibrillator is, and (iii) for that companion to have some idea how to use it. The text, maps, and photos on this webpage are intended to facilitate the first two goals. With regard to the third goal, modern public access defibrillators are designed to be usable without prior instruction (they talk you through the process) but your companion will feel much more confident about saving your life if they have attended one of the many defibrillator and resuscitation courses on offer locally. Contact HART to discover times and locations. Finally, you can encourage your companion to do some relevant reading. Fulking The Fulking defibrillator is in the centre of the village. The red door to the right is the entrance to the green corrugated iron shack that has served as the village hall for the last ninety years. The porch to the left is the entrance to a tiny brick chapel now used as the church bookstore. The defibrillator is in this porch and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Edburton The Edburton defibrillator is located at Coles Automotive which is at the end of Browns Meadow, a track that begins roughly opposite to Springs Smoked Salmon. It is kept in their reception area and is thus only accessible during garage opening hours. Poynings: The Forge Garage Poynings has two defibrillators.

  • Sussex Equine Rangers Join the Fight Against Rural Crime
    SUSSEX EQUINE RANGERS JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST RURAL CRIME An exciting new scheme is being launched in August which needs our horse riding community to volunteer to help fight rural crime. The pilot areas are Bolney, Warninglid,Twineham, Hickstead, Albourne, Pyecombe, Poynings, Fulking, Hurspierpoint, Sayers Common and Hassocks. This unique partnership seeks to promote collaboration between Sussex Police and local riders to tackle rural crime and anti-social behavior. The Mid Sussex Neighborhood Police Team has appointed a co-coordinator for this project, who is passionate about rural affairs and the communities we police. The project will assist in crime reduction by the volunteers working in an effective preventative capacity. There will be a pilot scheme of 15 to 18 volunteers, aged from 18, from the local riding community who will be participating in their day to day recreational activity of riding along the country roads, bridleways and lanes of Sussex. These volunteers, whilst out riding over miles of countryside, will be eyes and ears for the Neighborhood Police Team and report back anything suspicious to the team. They will be expected to volunteer for a couple of hours a week and will receive bulletins to enable the police to keep them informed of recent crimes and illegal activities. The project will enhance relationships and is dynamic and expandable to other areas of Sussex. Although initiated by Sussex Police, the volunteer riders will be supported and encouraged to seek out new members themselves and the rangers will be self managed. The aims and objectives are directed towards crime prevention in an attempt to reduce and deter criminals taking advantage of remote areas.
