New emergency vehicle launched for 999 response team – The Hereford Times
Arrive Alive charity has launched a new emergency response vehicle.
This aims to help Leominster Community First Responders reach patients more quickly during medical emergencies.
The vehicle will provide life-saving care in Leominster and its surrounding rural areas.
Leominster Community First Responders are a team of trained volunteers who attend 999 medical emergencies before an ambulance arrives.
The response vehicle will be dispatched to incidents by West Midlands Ambulance Service, helping to improve response times.
The Leominster vehicle was solely funded by the Arrive Alive charity through public donations and fundraising initiatives.
The launch marks the first Arrive Alive vehicle to operate in Leominster and highlights the charity’s commitment to helping volunteer responders deliver life-saving care within their communities.
Debbie Roscoe, founder of Arrive Alive, said: “It’s an honour to officially launch an Arrive Alive vehicle.
“This vehicle will play a vital role in helping volunteer community first responders continue their incredible work within the community.
“Every vehicle on the road is thanks to the kindness of the public, local fundraisers, and supporters who believe in making a real difference.
“I am so proud that we can help provide Leominster CFRs with the resources they need to continue saving lives.”
Bob Miles, representing Leominster Community First Responders, said: “This replaces our old dying car and will allow us to continue using our skills and training to help members of our local community at some of the worst times of their lives.”
