About this cause

Anyone who dials 999 in a life threatening emergency our volunteer Responders can be at the scene within minutes of the call being made providing life saving treatment until the ambulance arrives. Our objectives are to expand our responder numbers and take on an additional 10 volunteers, develop a falls service, and to continue to place public access defibrillators within the local community to further that aid and to purchase a dedicated vehicle for the responders.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It gives the local community the reassurance that should they fall at home and are not able to get back up to their feet by themselves then the responders will attend and lift them up, this will not only save the patients waiting, but also free up an ambulance to attend other more serious calls, should we arrive and he patient is injured then an ambulance would need to attend.
