But we could not buy all this without the support of our community and during the past year we have purchased a new defibrillator with ECG capabilitiy at a cost of £1,835. The group also carries oxygen, monitors, airway management equipment, dressings and bandages, splints and neck collars as well as a paediatric bag for treating children.

Our responder car

Our Ford Focus Estate car is kitted out specifically for responding to medical emergencies. The cost of running the vehicle is an average of £2,500 per year. We have all now been trained to safely respond using the car on blue lights and sirens. This training was kindly paid for by donations from the community.
