A WOODLEY estate agent is helping a campaign to install defibrillators into every school in the area.
Walmsley has given its back to the Arrythmia Alliance – Lilly-May Page charity, pledging to give £250 for every sale when made quoting the campaign. And on Monday, it made the first donation as a result of its support.
The charity was set up following the death of five-year-old Lilly-May Page of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) after being picked up from Woodley’s Willow Bank Infant School.
To honour her memory, her mum Claire launched the charity to get the life-saving defibrillators installed in schools and have already bought 19 of them.
And Walsmley, which also has a branch in Caversham, is delighted to add its backing to the charity.
Maxine Rendell, sales consultant for Walmsley’s came up with the idea: “Walmsley’s already support schools in the area and when I heard of the Lilly-May Page campaign I realised we could extend it to include them.”
Oliver Parker, branch manager at the Woodley office of Walmley’s explained: “We are telling people to quote Lilly-May when they book a valuation of their house, then on completion we will donate £250 to this wonderful campaign.”
