Deborah is passionate about the health service and, in particular, the care of older people. (insert your own joke about the average age of our club members). She is a busy lady as she works part-time as an invigilator at the Warriner school, as a Crisis Worker at the sexual assault referral centre in Bicester and as a dog walker/ sitter mainly for clients in the village of Somerton.
She lives in Somerton and has a father of 90 who lives in Derby with his partner. Her passion in life is travelling and has this year travelled to Jordan, Portugal, Bulgaria and Borneo. She is also an avid walker and a member of the ramblers. She enjoys socialising, organising events, eating out and generally keeping fit.
Deborah will be formally inducted into the Club at our Fri meeting on 28 Nov. Please welcome her into our group.ype caption here

In a cardiac emergency, time is life. Immediate CPR and defibrillator use can double—or even triple—a person’s chance of survival. Yet too few of us are trained. Whether you're at home, work, or in the community, knowing how to respond could mean the difference between life and death. Training is quick, accessible, and empowers you to act confidently when it matters most. 💡 Be the difference. Get trained. Save lives.
