A St Columb Minor group has launched a fundraiser to provide lifesaving equipment in the community.

Rialton Community Association aims to provide Rialton Community Hall with a bleeding control kit, which are specialised trauma kits designed to provide bystanders with the products they need to stop life-threatening bleeding until paramedics arrive

The equipment will go alongside the defibrillator, which the group raised money for previously.

A fundraising spiritual fayre will be held at the Mermaid Inn on Saturday, September 14, between 11am and 3pm. There will be mediums, healers, Reiki, crystal sip, tarot, holistic stalls, a raffle and refreshments.
