🚑 A proud moment for our charity – our second response vehicle is officially on the road! 🚑
Last week, we were delighted to launch our second Community First Responder vehicle, a huge milestone that doubles our operational capability to attend life-threatening emergencies across North East Worcestershire, alongside Officialwmas.
This vehicle has been made possible thanks to funding from Worcestershire County Council’s Public Health Community Grant and The National Lottery. With it, our volunteers can reach more patients, more quickly, across a wider area. It will also play a vital role in helping us deliver life-saving community education, including CPR, defibrillator awareness and bleed control training.
Our Community First Responder Scheme Coordinator, Ross Harris, said:
“This funding has made a huge difference to what we can deliver. A second vehicle means we can respond to more emergencies across a much wider area, and it gives our volunteers the tools they need to save lives. The support for training equipment and community education also means we can teach more people CPR, first aid and bleed control skills. We’re incredibly grateful for the Council’s support and proud to continue serving our communities.”
We’d like to say a huge thank you to our funders and supporters, and to our incredible volunteers who give their time to help others when it matters most. 🧡💚
Together, we’re making North East Worcestershire a safer place.
