We are a group of local people who volunteer our time to help support the ambulance service by attending calls including but not subject to Cardiac events, Strokes & breathing difficulties. We as locals could be a faster response than an ambulance and so could start emergency CPR with an AED helping to save you or your loved ones.
We are a self funded group and so all kit is provided out of funds we raise. Ideally each responder will have their own kit bag which will include a AED, oxygen, BP machine, Thermometer, Pulse Oximeter, Bandages and a BM machine if an ECFR. If each responder has their own kit bag it means we have more support in the community and so more CFRs/ECFRs on call.
A kit bag roughly costs around £2500 each.
We are campaigning for funds to keep our kit up to date and for newly trained CFRs/ECFRs to have their own individual kit.
