<p>Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.</p> <p>On Friday 28th October I am raising money for the Effingham &amp; District Community First Responder Scheme for which I am the Coordinator. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal</p> <p>We are a voluntary group of normal village residents who attend medical emergencies in the community after a 999 call is place.&nbsp; We are able to provide life saving support and treatment prior to an ambulance's arrival, and by doing so can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.</p> <p>We assist our communities in Leatherhead, Fetcham, Bookham, Effingham, The Horsley's, Ockham, Send, Ripley and Cobham.</p> <p>We are completely reliant on public and charitable donations, thus meaning we receive no government or NHS funding for services or upkeep.</p> <p>Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
