Northumbrian Water has teamed up with NHS Darlington Foundation Trust to place vital defibrillators in rural communities.
This comes after the NHS Darlington Foundation Trust updated their stock of defibrillators, used to help people who go into cardiac arrest, and Northumbrian Water stepped in to find homes for the 93 devices that were replaced.
Some of the defibrillators will give audio instructions to users, which make them even more accessible to people in the community who have disabilities.
