• Say thank you to those staff by investing more than the NHS gives in their ideas to improve the service, expand their training, improve their work environments and provide them with more specialist equipment to help you when you need it. • Train and equip volunteer community first responders (CFRs) - the people in your community who have been trained to provide a life saving response to their neighbours while an ambulance is on its way. The charity already has over 1000 volunteers trained to start saving lives while an ambulance is on its way and last year they answered over 15000 calls for help. Every volunteer costs the charity about £2000 to train and equip. • Train and equip communities to save lives by providing more life-saving equipment such as public access defibrillators and giving local people the confidence to use them. We want to make sure that no-one in our region is more than 8 minutes away from a public access defibrillator and we need to raise £1850 for every one. ▼
