Newton Mearns Community First Responders

Newton Mearns Community First Responders Email : nmearnscfr@gmail.com Community First Responders are made up of volunteers who respond in their spare time.

They have been trained by the Scottish Ambulance Service and given an AED (automated external defibrillator) along with other medical equipment in order to implement emergency care outside of hospital. CFR’s are dispatched at the same time as an ambulance in rural areas, or areas where an ambulance is unlikely to reach within the targeted time of 8 minutes.

Well done to our neighbouring Neilston co-ordinator Stephen. Very well deserved 👍

Congratulations to Stephen Byars who has been recognised as Citizen of the Year 2024 for his lifesaving work as the dedicated coordinator of the Neilston & Uplawmoor Community First Responder Group, where his voluntary work has spanned across the past decade. 🏆

As an integral part of the group since it started in 2014, Stephen maintains and manages many of the area’s public access defibrillators, going above and beyond to ensure that these crucial resources are readily available in the community, as well as selflessly giving most of his weekends to be available to respond to emergency calls across East Renfrewshire. 🫶

Well done Stephen, you're such a worthy winner of the Provost Award! 👏
