Community Defibrillators

As of May 2017 we have eleven Community Defibrillators sited around the village. The Save A Life team have worked closely with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service and they are aware of the location of all the Community Defibrillators. This means if you are not sure where the nearest defibrillator is they will be able to give advice. Read more about Ingleton's Community Defibrillators
