Leeds Community Responders Scheme |
|
|
On the 29th January, Leeds Castle hosted the launch of a new group of Community Responders. This launch was covered by Meridian News and several of the local press. The Leeds scheme covers a radius of a few miles around the village, including other villages such as Broomfleld, Kingswood, Ulcombe, Harrietsham, Hollingbourne, Broad Street, Eyhorne Street, Langley, Warmlake, Sutton Valence, Otham, Downswood and Hucking. Other teams cover neighbouring villages. First Responders are not a substitute for regular ambulance crews. They are simply there to support them by arriving quickly at the scene of an incident and taking whatever immediate action is needed. This is particularly important following cardiac arrest, heart attack and for patients who are unconscious or suffering any other form of life threatening illness or injury. First Responders are all volunteers. They receive no payment for their work or any expenses. All equipment is provided by the teams fund raising efforts or the Ambulance Service. The Leeds scheme urgently needs to raise funds to enhance their level of service and ensure the early treatment of patients. Below is a list of equipment which is needed. As you can see, even a donation of £5 will help the team treat the members of our villages:
