A 'Cuppa and Cake' event was organised for the afternoon of Wednesday 19th October 2022, with the aim of raising funds towards the maintenance of the defibrillator purchased for the community by Shrewton WI back in 2015.
There was a raffle and 'Bring and Buy' sale as well as the opportunity to drink tea and eat delicious cake, which members had generously baked and donated.
To help illustrate the need, Sarah had brought along the whole defibrillator 'kit' so people could see for themselves what a great asset it is to the village.
We raised more than £200.
Well done to all those who took part.

We made a profit of more than £340 at a village coffee morning and with the proceeds from the Horticultural Show we made more than £2000 for the charity. A very successful end to our fund-raising for 2016 was realised when a group of us presented a cheque to the Salisbury hospice charity for a massive £2160.

A Defibrillator for Shrewton 2015
In 2015 Shrewton WI chose to raise money to buy and install a defibrillator for the village.
W.I. members worked hard to raise funds by holding a members 'yard' sale, a pub quiz, having a stall at the flower show, organising a flower arranging demonstration, holding a coffee morning and a raffle and collected money in the streets.
The fund also benefitted from donated proceeds from a carol service and a local church's book sale, all of which raised a grand total of £3100!!!
Lady Gooch, High Sheriff of Wiltshire, unveiled the public defibrillator and plaque in 2016.
