Important: The amount of £9,144 raised on this page reflects past fundraising for our kit and uniform (now completed). We are now raising funds for a separate Contingency Fund to keep our kit operational and replace items as needed.

Harpenden Community First Responders are local volunteers trained by the East of England Ambulance Service to provide life-saving care in the first critical minutes of a 999 emergency. We attend cardiac arrests, strokes, breathing difficulties and other serious incidents where early intervention can make a real difference.

Although EEAST provides each group with an initial starter kit and consumables used on patients, everything else that keeps us operational is funded by the community. This includes our kit, uniform and the maintenance and replacement of our essential equipment, including the costs of the smartphones and licences we rely on to be dispatched.

Your support will help us keep our equipment ready so we can respond whenever the people of Harpenden need us.

Please donate today and help us stay operational.
