🎄 Christmas Update - Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
⛓ Lockdown from 12am tonight!

⚠️ The whole of Wales will be placed under lockdown from midnight tonight, with festive plans cancelled for all but Christmas Day.

‼️ The TWO household bubble rule remains for Christmas Day ONLY!

⚫️ Wales to enter Alert Level 4!

❌ CLOSED:

- hospitality (pubs, cafes, bars & restaurants);
- all leisure services;
- all non-essential retail, including close contact services.

❓ Takeaway and delivery services are an exception to the above closures.

🏠 Unless for absolute essential circumstances, the message is now clear, “STAY AT HOME.”

ℹ️ The changes mean that a Wales-wide lockdown, which was due to come into affect from 28 December, has been brought forward and will begin at midnight tonight.

ℹ️ All of Wales will be placed into the highest level of lockdown - Level 4 - with all but essential shops closed, and people being told to "stay home" to save lives.

🥘 There appears to be quite a few posts today about the lack of Free School Meal (FSM) provision being made available for children during half term.

A reminder, however wrong and outright disgraceful this may be to not look after the future generation and most vulnerable during this time, this ruling affects children in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England only and not 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales.

“The Welsh Government has already guaranteed free school meal provision (for those eligible) for all holidays up to and including Easter 2021.”

Any posts relating to FSM provision and the refusal by government to fund it applies to England only! If you’re currently receiving FSM support, this will continue through all school breaks in Wales up until and including Easter 2021 at very least.

🚨🩺 New Defibrillator at Cross Inn ❤️🚑

A new 24/7 accessible defibrillator, placed outdoors, is now available for use by Paramedics, First Responders and members of the public at the Cross Inn. Number 7 placed outdoors in the Llynfi Valley in recent months due to ongoing cross organisation partnership work.

The heated, locked and secure cabinet, made possible by funding through Maesteg Town Council, now houses this life saving piece of equipment on the boundary of the Maesteg jurisdiction area; for use in the event of a cardiac emergency. CCTV is focused directly on the defibrillator to discourage any potential vandalism to the newly installed equipment.

Thanks to all organisations for coming together once again to make this unit possible:

Maesteg Town Council, Cross Inn Cerddin Brewery, Maesteg Community First Responders, Deputy Mayor of Maesteg, Cllr. Adam Rhys Davies, Mayor of Maesteg; Cllr. Andrew James, PCSO Julie Banks, Meditec Solutions, Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust, Robert Lewis, Laura Murray, Rebecca Hudd, Rhys Pierre-Heiki Adam Davies, Andrew James.

A special thanks to Ryan Gibson and Nik Dart as volunteers who respond under Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust for the amazing work that they do, more so now in the climate we currently find ourselves in.

Information:

A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest. This high energy shock is called defibrillation, and it's an essential part in trying to save the life of someone who’s in cardiac arrest.

To help someone who is in cardiac arrest effectively, a defibrillator needs to be found as quickly as possible. For every minute it takes for the defibrillator to reach someone and deliver a shock, their chances of survival reduce by up to 10%.

Only 3% of cardiac arrests happen within the recommended retrieval distance of a defibrillator.

Resuscitation Council UK

Cardiac arrests can happen to anyone, at any time. The following steps give someone the best chance of survival. If you come across someone in cardiac arrest:

✅ Call 999;
✅ Start CPR;
✅ Ask someone to bring a defibrillator if there’s one nearby;
✅ Turn on the defibrillator and follow its instructions.
