A community activitist in the south east has received the support of a local company for the purchase of a new community defibrillator.

Actavo has sponsored a defibrillator for Waterford community hero Frank Deegan, as part of its Community Giving Fund. 

Frank, is a senior engineer who has worked with Actavo for the past nine years. However, he also volunteers as a Cardiac First Responder in Piltown, County Kilkenny, and has been instrumental in bringing life-saving resources to his local community. The defibrillator will be stored in Frank’s work vehicle, enabling him to respond swiftly to any nearby emergencies.

Frank’s dedication and Actavo’s support highlight the importance of community involvement and the need for urgent action and vital resources in emergency situations.

Actavo Group CEO, Keith Tobin, said: “On behalf of the Community Giving Committee and everyone at Actavo, I would like to thank Frank for all his community work, which embodies our values as an organisation. We hope this small gesture will help save a life in the local community.”
