Nominated by The Old Manor Inn pub, the project has seen a defibrillator unit installed at St Mark;s Church, in St Marks Road.
The Sizzling and Carling community action campaign is an initiative where the lager brand supports a range of community projects across the UK.
A training session is scheduled to be delivered at the church to improve people's understanding of the role defibrillators play in saving lives.
Rev Chris Elms said: "Having a defibrillator is essential for every community.

"The main reason so few people survive a cardiac arrest is due to a defibrillator not being available quickly enough.
"If a defibrillator is used and effective CPR is performed then chances of survival increase from six per cent to 74 per cent."
