Story
Arrive Alive is Britains only registered charity solely dedicated to funding vital lifesaving vehicles and equipment for Community First Responders (CFRs). CFRs are medically trained volunteers who are regulated and dispatched to frontline life threatening 999 calls by West Midlands Ambulance Service.
Demand is greater than ever on our current operational lifesaving vehicles and equipment. Alcester & District Community First Responders are in urgent need of a new vehicle to continue to work on the frontline to assist West Midlands Ambulance to provide even more efficient lifesaving assistance following a 999 call.
An CFR can reach a 999 medical emergency in those vital seconds/minutes prior to a road or air ambulance due to being directly based within the heart of the community, this results in essential lifesaving treatment being initiated sooner as every second counts.
Its fantastic the support Arrive Alive has already given to these schemes as they are independent from the Ambulance Service and fund all their own uniform and equipment. For every Car that Arrive Alive has provided to one of our Volunteer schemes that is potentially another life saved in the Community. Andy Jeynes Community Response Manager for West Midlands Ambulance Service UNHSFT.
Lifesaving equipment and vehicles are solely funded by public donations, no funding is given by the government, NHS, ambulance service or national lottery.
