Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes are donating defibrillators from their sites across Devon and Cornwall to help in the fight against coronavirus.

The defibrillators, worth over £900 each, will be donated from ten sites including Tavistock and Launceston.

The move is part of a nationwide initiative to donate hundreds of defibrillators, usually used on its construction sites, to St John Ambulance.

The health and first aid charity is now on the frontline supporting people and communities through coronavirus, helping to take the strain from the NHS. It has started a nationwide appeal — called Take the Strain — to source desperately needed equipment to help it in the vital role it is playing, including 1,000 defibrillators.
