A RETAILER has thrown their support behind a bowling club, raising funds to support the purchase of a defibrillator.

The Nisa Local on The Street, Tongham, donated £700 to the Tongham Bowling Club through Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity.

Sujit Desai, owner of the Nisa Local said: “We are delighted to be able to use our Making a Difference Locally funds to support purchasing a defibrillator at Tongham Bowling Club.”

Derek Peddle, secretary at the bowling club said he had seen two deaths on the green, and that the purchase would be a “great thing”.
