A new defibrillator has been installed at a golf club as part of a regional heart health campaign.
Southampton-based cardiac charity Heartbeat has supported a defibrillator installation scheme across the south and has now installed the device at South Winchester Golf Club.
The initiative was driven and set up by Sharon Brady and her brother Paul, after the loss of her husband James to a sudden heart attack in 2021.
Peter Brunning, general manager of South Winchester Golf Club, said: "Raising awareness of heart health is one of many reasons why we chose Heartbeat as our charity of the year 2025.
