With the support of our local District Councillor Diana Garrod, I was able to apply for a grant from Braintree District Council Councillors’ Community Grant. This has allowed our group to purchase items to help with CPR/AED training for both the public and at our own cfr training sessions.

The first part of this order arrived today, a head section showing how the head tilt chin lift manoeuvre releases the tongue from falling back and blocking the airway. Something people find hard to understand otherwise.

If you would like to know more about our public training sessions please email me:

Celebration of all our CFRs volunteers.

23/05/2026

Haverhill & Steeple Bumpstead First Responders Steve, Brad, Emma, Robin and myself Carole, were pleased to present CPR and Defib training at Sturmer village hall. Arranged by Terrie who looks after their public access defib.

Great acting skills by Steve and Brad when demonstrating what to expect to do as a bystander if you came across someone in cardiac arrest. One to one practice then offered amongst those attending.

Wonderful to see local residents ‘having a go’ themselves on the resus annies. Also, it was reassuring to some of those who attended to witness the public access defib being opened and what was inside. This is a specially monitored cabinet the sends Terrie a message as soon as it is opened.

Thank you also those of you who have donated to help keep our funding going for providing equipment for these Free training sessions we give. We are all unpaid volunteers so rely on grants and donations to fund our training equipment purchases.

Do you have some free time and are looking for a voluntary role in your community? Are you retired or nearing retirement and looking for an interesting project to get involved with?
Also, are you studying and living / working at home and are looking to volunteer in the community and learn some life saving skills?

Then speak with Stan Pridmore, the Haverhill CFR Recruitment Officer, on behalf of Steeple Bumpstead CFRs.

All training is free, and you will be trained by paramedics to a very high standard. Training is done as face-to-face with online learning (this is not a first aid course).

If you are over 18 and have a full driving licence and are interested in helping our Group by becoming a First Responder - you can and will make a difference to people with medical emergencies, then please contact/message us via our page:
Haverhill Community First Responders or email [email protected].
