Could you be one of our next Community First Responder volunteers?❤️

We’re looking for new members to join our local Community First Responder (CFR) group, and we’d love to hear from people in our Leixlip community who might be interested in getting involved.

As a CFR, you can make a real difference when someone in Leixlip needs urgent help. Working alongside the emergency services, CFRs are trained to provide vital support and lifesaving care while an ambulance is on the way.

You don’t need to have previous medical experience, full training is provided. What matters most is a willingness to learn, help others and have use of a car and full driving licence.

Being a CFR can be incredibly rewarding. You’ll gain valuable skills, meet other members of your community and, most importantly, have the opportunity to make a life-saving difference when it matters most. ❤️

If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to help, but I’m not sure if I could do it”, why not get in touch and find out more?

We’re looking for people from Leixlip and in particular Confey.

If you’re interested, please e-mail : [email protected]
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Delighted to announce the installation of our latest public access AED in Hereford Park!

Thanks so much to Glenveagh Homes who sponsored and installed this AED, which will be managed by us.

This is located on the new creche building on your right, as you come into Hereford Park - this is also the closest AED to Barnhall Meadows.

Know where your nearest AED is, and always call 999/112 in an emergency.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Lyster.

While many will remember him as the face of The Sunday Game, Michael’s legacy extends beyond broadcasting. After surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in 2015, he contributed to CPR training videos and spoke openly about his experience with heart failure, helping to raise awareness through his own story.

We had the privilege of meeting Michael a few years ago at Confey College, where they were celebrating the rollout of CPR training throughout the school. It was a memorable occasion and he left a lasting impression on students and CFRs alike.

May he rest in peace.

Love this

Happy Valentine’s Day from Naas Community First Responders ❤️🚑

Brad Pitt might be famous for stealing hearts 💕
but in Naas CFR, we’re the ones who know how to restart them. 😉
While he’s out there causing palpitations, we’re out here fixing them. 💪

CPR, defibs, calm heads, steady hands 🙌 that’s our love language ❤️

This Valentine’s Day, skip the flowers. 💐
Learn how to save a life instead. It’s far more attractive.😉

If your community group, organisation, workplace, sports club or housing estate would like CPR & Defibrillator training, slide into our inbox. Martina our group coordinator will get back to you asap!

And if you fancy becoming a real-life heartthrob (or heart-saver), volunteer with us. We promise it’s more impressive than chocolates. 🍫

Because nothing says romance like being ready when someone’s heart skips a beat. 💘⚡
