Our Initiatives

Community First Responders - Responding

North West First Responder Group supports volunteers who are trained, equipped and deployed by North West Ambulance Service as Community First Responders. These volunteers attend 999 emergencies on behalf of North West Ambulance Service. Because our volunteers live in the community, they can often arrive within minutes to provide vital early care, such as CPR, defibrillation, and reassurance until paramedics take over. Their quick response helps save lives and supports people in their moment of greatest need.

Fundraising Events

North West First Responder Group rely on local fundraising to support our mission. From community fairs to charity challenges, our events raise vital funds and awareness for everything we do. Every donation helps us save lives and strengthen communities.

Every second matters in a cardiac emergency. That’s why North West First Responder Group run free CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) workshops across the community.

Our sessions give people the skills and confidence to act quickly in an emergency; whether that’s performing CPR, using a defibrillator, or simply knowing what to do until professional help arrives.

We deliver workshops in schools, workplaces, and community groups across the Wirral, Liverpool, Neston, Ellesmere Port, Chester and Carlisle & Districts helping more people gain life-saving knowledge. The more of us who are prepared, the safer our community becomes.
