This morning, Alcester & District Community First Responders picked up the keys to our second First Responder vehicle which we bought from our friends at Shipston Community First Responders!

Sun has been shining this afternoon at the Anthony West Charity Football Match at Alcester Town Football Club! Our team was talking about CPR, Defibrillators and Bleed Control Kits! Thank you for your kind donations and raising funds for our charity! #AlcesterCFR @OFFICIALWMAS
Did you spot Alcester & District Community First Responder in the Stratford Herald recently?
We spoke to the Herald outlining the work our volunteers do helping members of our community.

We have been on call this week during the hot weather responding to incidents within a 10 mile radius. On Thursday, Tim, one of our volunteers had a busy one, responded to six 999 calls throughout the day! ☀️

We are at The Alcester Inn today supporting their fundraise for a defibrillator! Looks like they have a great line up of acts and we are chatting to members of the public about the importance of and how to use defibrillators!

Last week Zoe & Rob visited residents during their coffee morning at Oversley House to demonstrate use of a defibrillator and perform CPR. Thank you for inviting us along! Zoe & Rob also remained on-call throughout the day to respond to any 999 calls. #AlcesterCFR @OFFICIALWMAS
We recently had some lovely feedback drop into our inbox following two of our volunteer First Responders attending an incident:
“They were professional and reassuring whilst waiting for the ambulance. Please pass on our gratitude to them for their help and kindness.”
It’s always lovely to receive nice feedback especially at time’s when someone is unwell. So thank you for getting in touch!

Different scene for one of our Community First Responders as he visited one of the Emergency Operations Centres for the West Midlands Ambulance Service to learn about what happens during 999 calls & understand how ambulance resources are deployed to incidents. @OFFICIALWMAS
This morning Bill, our volunteer First Responder Coordinator supported setting up another new defibrillator in Alcester. Great to see additional lifesaving devices, which can be used by anyone, being installed! Well done and thank you to everyone involved.

After huge fundraising effort by community it’s great to be supporting new defibrillators in Alcester.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of setting up a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED) into the newly installed cabinet on Mayors Drive
#AlcesterCFR @OFFICIALWMAS
It’s great to see the community pull together with fundraising, donations, offers to host a defib, and of course DMH Electrical & Security Specialists for installing the cabinet free of charge! Thank you all!
Great turn out at our CPR and Defibrillator drop in session today at the Alcester Town Hall…
Brilliant to see both members of the community & those visiting the town for the Garden Walkabout popping in to learn more about how to help save a life.

Earlier today we joined the local community at The Graftons Village Hall, Temple Grafton to provide CPR & Defibrillator awareness. Great to see the Village Hall also has a Public Access Defibrillator available in the event of a cardiac arrest in the local area.
