The funeral will take place on Monday 15th of March and unfortunately due to Covid restrictions is limited in numbers permitted to attend. As we have previously done in recent weeks we would ask those residents in our community who wish to pay their respects to line the main road, this will be from 12:15 on Monday 15th March. Wendy has played a significant part in community life over the years and I’m sure many of her friends and colleagues across the community will want to remember her. Our sympathies go out to her family.

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the sad passing of Councillor Wendy Phillips. A day that marks the loss of one of Solva’s most committed volunteers and residents. Wendy has been an influential member of the council for many years and we are so sad at the news of her passing. A light has gone out in Solva today but we must remember the better days. Our sympathies go out to her family and friends, she will be missed by so many. The scheduled council meeting this evening has been postponed as a mark of respect and will be rescheduled for another day.

As part of our commitment to a healthy and safe community we’re supporting the Save a Life Cymru project. We’ll be sharing more information from the project as we have it.
Every year over 6,000 people in Wales will have a cardiac arrest in the community and many will die without some simple and easy to learn interventions. Save a Life Cymru; established to increase the number of people who survive a cardiac arrest in the community; is seeking your support to help them share this important lifesaving message.
They have produced a training video: https://gov.wales/save-a-life-cymru and are looking to assist with training for public access defibrillators and encouraging the installation of more.
Touch Someone’s Life, a public information campaign, explains what any person should do in the event of a cardiac arrest (a condition where the heart suddenly stops working and the person becomes unconscious). CPR must be started immediately to pump blood around the body and a defibrillator used to restart the heart. The unpredictable and time-sensitive nature of cardiac arrest in the community makes it a unique medical emergency. There is no other medical situation that relies on such community intervention.
Around 80% of community cardiac arrests in Wales happen in peoples’ homes and can happen to anyone at any time. Many who experience a cardiac arrest often appear healthy with no known risk factors. This emphasises the importance for everyone to have CPR skills to help save family, friends, colleagues, neighbours or a stranger.
Their ambition is to create cultural change across Wales so that everyone understands the urgent need to help anyone experiencing a cardiac arrest, as well as having the skills and confidence to start CPR and defibrillation.
