Arrive Alive is Britains only registered charity solely dedicated to funding vital lifesaving vehicles and equipment for Community First Responders (CFRs). CFRs are medically trained volunteers who are regulated and dispatched to frontline life threatening 999 calls by West Midlands Ambulance Service.

Demand is greater than ever on our current operational lifesaving vehicles and equipment. An additional nine voluntary operated lifesaving equipped vehicles are urgently needed on the frontline to help CFRs and West Midlands Ambulance to provide even more efficient lifesaving assistance following a 999 call. An Arrive Alive vehicle can reach a 999 medical emergency in those vital seconds/minutes prior to a road or air ambulance due to being directly based within the heart of the community, this results in essential lifesaving treatment being initiated sooner as every second counts.

Its fantastic the support Arrive Alive has already given to these schemes as they are independent from the Ambulance Service and fund all their own uniform and equipment. For every Car that Arrive Alive has provided to one of our Volunteer schemes that is potentially another life saved in the Community. Andy Jeynes Community Response Manager for West Midlands Ambulance Service UNHSFT.

Lifesaving equipment and vehicles are solely funded by public donations, no funding is given by the government, NHS, ambulance service or national lottery. Our vehicles and equipment have been still operational on the frontline responding to life threatening 999 calls throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Funding for the essential lifesaving support that Arrive Alive provides has been impacted by coronavirus due to the cancellation of fundraising events and bucket collections which is the main sources of charitable income. Demand is greater than ever on Britains emergency medical services and NHS.

Today, perhaps more than most, we are hoping that we can count on you to support us with a donation to ensure that we can continue to provide lifesaving vehicles as we never know when we might need to call 999. However great or small every donation contributes towards saving a life.
