FastAid Emergency First Responder Scheme

July has been an incredibly busy month for?Officialwmas. Fastaid have responded with increased support. Just in this one month, our Arden scheme car answered 48 emergency calls. It was crewed at various times by our doctor, nurse and two paramedics, as well as community first responders from all walks of life. Volunteers not just giving up their spare time, but making time to serve our community. In one day, our central Solihull based car answered 11 calls. All of the 999 calls we go to are deemed life threatening and although we are always backed up by an ambulance as soon as one becomes available, we are nearly always first on scene. We also had busy responders in Solihull North, Sutton and Birmingham in our other three cars.

It's expensive to insure and run our cars, and we receive no central funding other than donations from the public. We are so grateful for all donations.?https://www.totalgiving.co.uk/charity/fastaid
