Danbury, Bicknacre & Little Baddow First Responder
Danbury, Bicknacre and Little Baddow First Responders are unpaid volunteers, trained by East of England Ambulance Service in Emergency Life Support and CPR. We take it in turns being 'on call' to respond to emergency calls to patients in our area who are suffering from potentially life threatening conditions.
In the UK someone has a heart attack every 2 minutes. Only 1% of the population is trained in the vital skills that can mean the difference between life and death. Studies have shown that if a series of events take place in a set sequence, a heart attack victim has a greater chance of survival. These events are known as the chain of survival: Early Recognition, Early Access, Early Defibrillation, Early CPR and Early Advanced Life Support. We form part of that chain. Additionally we run free 'Emergency Life Support' sessions for local residents.
We conduct our own training to improve our knowledge and skills. East of England Ambulance provides our operational kit but for training we are entirely self-funding and are currently looking to purchase various items of equipment and it is for this reason that funds are being raised.
The Fell & Moorland Working Terrier Club
This organisation was formed in 1967 to provide a rescue service for terriers lost to ground in the course of their natural working activities.
The aims of the club then are the same as they are today: To rescue trapped terriers; to improve the breeds of working terriers by retaining old strains; to encourage the art of working terrier shows and to provide a foster service if required.
The F&MWTC not only work to free their members' trapped terriers, but have also extended their resources and expertise to rescue pet terriers trapped below ground.
Always remember your terriers, Protect them from wet and from cold
For the love of a Tyke for its master, Can never be measured in gold
