Steyning Area First Responders – Volunteer team
SAFeR’s volunteer Community First Responders are fully trained by the South East Coast Ambulance Service – SECAmb. They provide an essential service supporting the Ambulance Service in the local community, and are often able to get to an emergency before the ambulance arrives.
Every year our Community First Responders attend numerous falls, strokes, heart attacks and other medical emergencies in and around the Steyning area.
Public Access Defibrillators
SAFeR funds and maintains Public Access Defibrillators at more than 15 locations in the area for life-saving emergency use.
Many of our defibrillators are sponsored by local organisations or individuals – please get in touch if you would be interested in sponsoring one of the others.
