Southwold & Reydon Community Responders

Southwold & Reydon Community Responders Responders are volunteers who attend 999 calls in the Suffolk coastal area providing basic life support before the arrival of ambulance or paramedic crews.

Community Responders are volunteers trained in Basic Life Support who are called by the East of England Ambulance NHS Trust to attend 999 calls in Southwold and Reydon Due to the rural nature of the area and the limited road network ambulance response may be delayed but responders being local can attend in minutes. Responders are trained in a variety of life saving measures but are especially effective in dealing with heart attacks.

First Responders equipped with special kit can carry out procedures within the first few minutes following an incident saving lives and stabilising the casualty’s condition. This is especially the case for heart attacks, strokes, choking and injuries that have caused someone to lose consciousness. In the event of a ‘heart attack’ research has shown that if treatment starts within at least 4 to 8 minutes of the cardiac arrest chances of survival are greatly increased. We need your help, by you volunteering as a responder or by recruiting others to our team.
