LIFE SAVING DONATION TO WINNINGTON SCHOOL
Teachers at Winning- ton Park Community Primary School have added heart start train- ing to their life saving skills following the donation of a defibril- lator by father of four James Whitewood. James and his wife Kelly of Penrhyn Road, Winnington, who have three children at the school, presented the heart start machine to Headteacher Mrs Jane Dale. James, the driv- ing force behind private hire company Reem Executive, was keen to work in collab- oration with
the
defibrillator's supplier Laderal to make the donation possible hav- ing been inspired by the tragic story of Liv- erpool pupil Oliver King. The 12 year old collapsed and died in 2011 from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syn-

drome (SADS) during a school swimming lesson. His parents set up a foundation to raise awareness of the condition, purchase defibrillators
for
schools and sports centres and assist in providing staff with rel- evant training. Having
worked in the civil and commercial
previously airline
industry and learned how to use a defibrilla-
tor as a member of cabin crew, James knew from experience how straightforward the machine is to oper- ate. Referring to the defib- rillator as a "really valuable tool" Mrs Dale said: "We are delighted and very grateful to Mr White- wood for his generous donation. We quite often have sports and open days and there is always a chance that somebody might be taken ill. All our staff are first aid trained but we did not have a defibrillator, which was recommended to us when we had our train- ing update." Mrs Dale added that the children of Year Six are already aware of the importance of first aid, having received training in basic life- saving skills.
MIDDLESBROUGH FIRM HAILED FOR FOOD DONATION
Teesside taxi drivers have delivered a spe- cial fare to foodbanks in Middlesbrough. Boro Cars and its driv- ers have handed over more than £1,000 worth of food - their biggest ever donation. The Community Union has been urging local businesses and trade union members to support the work of the Trussle Trust in running the five food- bank
outlets
Middlesbrough. Boro Cars drivers donated £500 worth of food to the foodbanks and their employers matched that amount. Christine Bell, a direc- tor of Boro Cars, became involved in assisting the food- banks after meetings with a Community Union representative and people such as
JULY 2013 PHTM
MP Tom Blenkinsop and Anna Turley, Labour’s Parliamen- tary candidate in Redcar. She told the Teesside Evening Gazette: “It was a pleasure to be able to help this food- bank and I would like to thank all our drivers and staff who con- tributed
to in the
collection with both food and money dona- tions. “In total we were able to purchase almost £1,000 worth of food to add to the collection of food also donated by drivers. “To help those in des- perate need, every- body who can help should help. Boro Cars will continue to support
this food-
bank.” she said. Middlesbrough coun- cillors Len Junior and
Derek Loughborough, who are members of the Community Union, said: “In a world where foodbanks are becom- ing more necessary we should all be very sad. “However to see such community spirit form Boro Cars staff and drivers is wonderful and hopefully other local businesses will see the huge need and join in.” Nigel Perrot,
the
Tressle Trust’s project manager for the Mid- dlesbrough
food-
banks, said: “The Boro Cars donation was our biggest ever and we were extremely grate- ful. “We are now providing food for around 100 people a week and we have seen a 35 per cent
increase demand since April 1.” PAGE 57
