Life saving defibrillators have been installed across the Grove Formula One headquarters and donated to a local garage.
Williams Racing is supporting the South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) ‘Save a Life’ campaign, which aims to help save lives by providing members of the public with vital information on where to find local Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and how to use them in an emergency.
Through the SCAS ‘Save a Life’ app, members of the public can check where the nearest AED is and access videos and instructions on cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
