New lifesaving vehicle for Dudley Community First Responders

Arrive Alive has generously funded a second lifesaving vehicle for Dudley Community First Responders, as part of their ongoing support for West Midlands Ambulance Service Community First Responder groups. This addition to the Arrive Alive fleet will play a crucial role in ensuring timely emergency response in the Dudley area, further strengthening the network of dedicated volunteers saving lives in our communities.

Sarah Trevalen, Chairperson of Dudley Community First Responders, said: "The support of Arrive Alive has been instrumental in our ability to support the local community – all our CFRs are unpaid volunteers and respond in their own time on top of day jobs, families and other commitments so having Arrive Alive provide us with response cars means that our volunteers can focus all their spare time on attending life threatening emergencies in the local community instead of also spending time raising enough money to cover the cost of response cars. With 12 active responders we have already reached the limit our current car and with six new CFRs going through training at the moment and more expected later this year this additional car will double our capacity allowing everyone to respond more often and assist more of the local community."
