Our new CPR manakins and training defibrillators got their first outing today.

These were purchased with the grant awarded to our charity by the Bures Music Festival and have replaced our aging equipment.

The smart manakins are able to provide real time feedback on the quality of CPR being provided by students, helping us give even more specific feedback.

Such an amazing music festival, now potentially helping to save lives!

We are in the process of issuing all our volunteers with name badges from the campaign.

When we meet you we always introduce ourselves by our name, but we understand that we may be with you in times of discomfort, and remembering our names may be difficult.

It also allows us to be easily identified by any following ambulance resources who may attend with us.

The campaign founder explains the purpose of the badges beautifully,

"I firmly believe it is not just about common courtesy, but it runs much deeper. Introductions are about making a human connection between one human being who is suffering and vulnerable, and another human being who wishes to help. They begin therapeutic relationships and can instantly build trust in difficult circumstances."

We frequently get asked what areas we cover as a group, and people are often surprised to learn how far we travel to calls.

This map shows the spread of calls from just one of our response bags in 2025!

Have we been to your village?

Thank you to all our supporters in 2025.

Christmas has come early for us!

Today volunteer responder Ryan and Adam attended Stoke-by-Nayland Resort, Suffolk, where the Men's Senior Golf Team presented them with a cheque for £10,578.84!

Nayland CFRs were chosen as the Captain's charity for 2025 and were presented with the cheque by the 2025 Captain, Kevin Price. The funds were raised throughout the year from raffles, charity fines, donations, and even a sponsored walk by Kevin and other club members.

Adam Lunn, Nayland CFR Team Leader said, "When we were approached by Kevin at the start of 2024, I never thought we would be the recipients of such a generous donation. Stoke-by-Nayland Resort are a big part of our local community and are always on hand to give assistance. The generosity of the Men's Senior Golf Team has almost left me speechless. All I can do is continue to thank them. Myself and the other volunteers accept this wonderful donation on behalf of Nayland Community First Responders and also all of the local residents we have supported over the years, and will continue to support in the future."
