Funding for this vital piece of life-saving equipment was secured through the DAERA Rural Micro Capital Grant Scheme administered by Dennett Interchange to the Drummond Centre Project Ltd.

The issue of having a community defibrillator was discussed at a flood impact meeting held in the village in September 2017. This was attended by groups who had been severely affected by the devastating floods of August 22 that year and it was felt that funding should be sought for this as soon as possible.

Following the sudden death of a local resident, Lennie Watt, the next evening an application was made to the above scheme and was successful.
