Waveney Valley Community First Responders
To date there are 21 volunteers in the Waveney Valley scheme who are in the process of undergoing First Aid training and CRB checks and hope to be providing a response service commencing in November 2008. Initially they will borrow a First Aid and AED response kit from the East of England Ambulance Service however they are expected to raise money to purchase there own group equipment. An average cost for an initial kit is £2500 and is broken down as follows:- AED £1500 Kit bag 1 for first aid supplies £130 Kit bag 2 for oxygen and suction £75 Hi Visibility jackets per person £15 Pulse Oximeter £400 Visor Signs £12.50 Pocket rescue masks per person £6.00 Airways £5.00 There are other helpful medical items which can be added once the scheme is up and running and has sufficient funds in place. The Ambulance service takes responsibility for restocking the kit once purchased by the group. (AED pads are one use only and cost £30.) The group welcome any help offered whether it is financial or
otherwise. There are currently no responder volunteers in Weybread and training is available, the group are also looking for fundraisers, flyer distributors, promotion
agents as well as more responder volunteers in surounding villages. Please feel free to contact them for
any further information and help us to support this valuable service. The Weybread Crown has so far raised £130 towards our current target of £150 for a 'Sat Nav' to assist the team on their frequent call outs. Our next event will be the January Quiz Night on Thursday 8th, 7.30 for 8pm start.
