Fernside School PTA raises funds to install lifesaving device in community
The Fernside Community Hall has become the latest place in North Canterbury to have an defibrillator installed thanks to the fundraising efforts of its local school's parent-teacher association.
Fernside School PTA president Natasha Pagan says it took several years to raise the close to $6000 needed for the community's new automated external defibrillator, so it was exciting to finally get it.
"We noticed there was a need for the defibrillator in the community, as the nearest one is [5 kilometres away] in Rangiora," she says.
"We feel very privileged that we were able to provide something so life-changing in our community."

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
