Endmoor and District, First Responders. Helping the Endmoor and District Community

We are pleased to announce that Endmoor and District Community First Responders have achieved Charitable Status.

Congratulations to all who passed the reassessments on Wednesday, particularly to Roy who has been waiting for over a year - well done! The second round of assessments take place next Wednesday 16th July.

Enormous thanks to George and Mary Tench for their fantastic effort in raising nearly £400 with their Cream Tea on 6th June. Also thanks to anyone who gave them assistance and for all those who attended.

A big thank you to Waters Edge Caravanners at Crooklands who raised over £200 for our funds. They held a "Forties Night" recently and donated all their takings to us - well done Sandra!

George and Mary Tench are holding their annual Cream Tea event at Borderside on Friday 6th June from 3:00 - 4:00pm. Proceeds will go to our Responders Group. There will be a raffle and cake stall. Tickets are £1.50 and all are welcome.

Our next meeting on Wednesday 7th May will be an Open Evening commencing at 7:30pm at The Crooklands Hotel. If you are, or you know someone who is, remotely interested in becoming a First Responder why not come or bring them along to find out more. Our members will be on hand to talk about what we do, our trainers will go through the easy training programme, and we'll give demonstrations on CPR and defibrillation. Becoming a First Responder is a great way of volunteering to help in the local community, and it may even save the life of someone you know. Why not come along and see for yourslf? You need to be over 18, drive a car and pass a CRB check. Hope to see you there!!

A big "Thank You" to all those who attended the Heartstart Course in the Village Hall on 19th March. It was very successful, with 17 local people completing the course and receiving their certificate. They were expertly assisted by Trainer David Taylor and several Endmoor and District First Responders. If you attended, (or even if you didn't), and you're interested in becoming a First Responder why not join us at our next session. We now have two qualified Trainers on the team and we're meeting on April 8th at The Crooklands Hotel from 7:00 - 9:00pm. You can just turn up or contact us by the link on the Home Page. You'll be made very welcome.

Dave Taylor (Holme CFRs), in conjunction with Endmoor and District CFRs, is providing a Heartstart Course for anyone interested on Wednesday 19th March from 7:00 to 9:30pm at Endmoor Village Hall. The course is free and includes dealing with an unconscious person, giving rescue breaths, performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and how to deal with a person who is choking, seriously bleeding or is having a suspected heart attack. A British Heart Foundation certificate will be awarded upon completion. If you are interested please "Contact Us" via the website.

Thanks to all those who turned up on a cold frosty night for the carol singing around Low Park. Mr & Mrs Tench provided warming mulled wine and mince pies to round off a lovely musical evening which raised over £120 for Motor Neuron Research. A Merry Christmas and healthy New Year to all our readers!

At the recent AGM the following officers were elected: Chairman, Martin Smith; Vice Chairman, Raymond Massey; Treasurer, Dawn Humble; Secretary, Roger Gorman; Equipment Officer, Helen Morton. During the last 12 months we made 27 "call outs" - all responses were made before the ambulance arrived, enabling early and appropriate emergency aid.

The AGM will take place on 8th November 2007 at the Crooklands Hotel commencing 7:30pm. Members and interested members of the public are most welcome to attend. The Agenda will include the election of officers and annual reports.

A big thank you to all who helped at the County Show on 13th September. A good sum of money was raised which will go towards maintenance of equipment and pagers.

Mr & Mrs Tench are hosting another fund raising Cream Tea at Borderside on Friday 15th June from 3:00 to 4:30pm. Last year's event was blessed with excellent weather and was very well attended. All are welcome. For tickets contact Martin or email admin@endmoor.org.uk

Congratulations to Kerry, Karen, Margaret, Mark and Sandra on passing their recent assessments, and to the rest of the group for their 6 month re-assessments. We now have 18 active Community First Responders attending medical collapses in the parishes of Preston Richard and Preston Patrick, and Stainton village.

A new wave of training for First Responders begins in the New Year. Our first session is at The Crooklands Hotel on Thursday 11th January between 7:00 and 9:00pm. New members are most welcome to attend - the training is free and provides the skills and knowledge required for basic life support. Though there's a serious side, it's great fun too! Just turn up or use the "Contact Us" link if you want more information.

We are now "live" and able to respond to medical collapses in Endmoor and District!
