Calverstown Community First Responders launch fundraising drive

The new community first responder group established in Calverstown, with local volunteers, is seeking public support to help get the life-saving service up and running, writes Brian Byrne.

Calverstown Community First Responders will respond alongside the National Ambulance Service to medical emergencies in the area, such as cardiac arrests, strokes and choking incidents, where the first few minutes can be vital while an ambulance is on the way.

The group needs to raise approximately €8,000 to cover essential equipment and setup costs. Funds raised will go towards items including defibrillators (AEDs), emergency response bags, PPE, high-visibility gear and training equipment.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will be welcomed. The appeal is now live through iDonate, and supporters are also being encouraged to share the campaign to help spread the word.
