This week is National Volunteers week.

As your local Community First Responders, we thought we would let you know what we have been up to this year.

We have been tasked to and attended 134 calls, for the East Of England Ambulance Service 🚑
93 of these calls were Category 2 calls (Medical Emergencies)
41 of these calls were Category 1 calls (Life Threatening Emergencies)
We were First on Scene for 90 of these calls

The types of calls we have attended have included the following (Top 5 types of Incidents)
Breathing Problems
Falls
Cardiac Arrests
Convulsions/Fittings
Chest Pain

All these calls have been in Felixstowe and the surrounding villages, all done by volunteers who give their time freely, and use their own vehicles to attend these jobs.

Volunteer community first responders are a vital part of our service, responding to emergencies in their local area and in many instances, arriving first on scene to provide life-saving support until ambulance crews arrive.

Let’s have a look at some stats about our CFRs and CFR groups across the east of England 👇

As many of you know the Felixstowe section of the Pop Chorus choir, has been raising funds for us this year with Concerts, Quiz's, Sponsored Walks and Swims in fact any way they could think of they did it.
This amazing group of people have raised over £10,000 for us, we will use this money to get additional kit, training aids, and also some additional uniform items for the wet weather.
The whole of our team is so thankful, and cannot believe the amount raised (the original goal was £1,000) and we will be arranging a meeting with the choir soon to thank them all in person, but in the meantime we wish all the singers and their supporters a very Happy New Year, and that they have a great 2025.

The team would like to wish all our followers and supporters a Happy New Year, and we will try to be there if you need us in 2025.
