## **AUDLEM FIRST RESPONDERS** 




## **OCTOBER 2021 CHARITY REPORT** 



udlem First Responders provide 999 ambulance cover to Audlem & District throughout the year. 


The map gives the approximate locations to which the team have been responding since June.  Team members are based in Audlem and in Buerton and respond from their home bases.  The further distances travelled are usually in response to a need during peak times where ambulances are not readily available.  This year, there have been times when Audlem FR have waited up to 120mins for backup from Ambulance

crews. This highlights the importance of having a Team ready to attend 999 calls within minutes of  the call and providing an immediate service for their local community. 

At the start of the year, to help with pressure on NHS, one member of the team was seconded to the Paramedic Emergency Service of North West Ambulance Trust.  One member of the team is a vaccinator for the  Covid Vaccination programme.    Another member of the team is a Student Paramedic/Technician with West Midlands Ambulance Service and regularly responds in his free time 

## **Categories.** 

Audlem FR team remain on call most daytimes during the week and, whenever possible, provide 24 hours cover each weekend. 

What is noticeable is that the type of call we receive is increasing in ‘seriousness’.  This is clearly due to the pressures on the mainline Ambulance Service.We have been dispatched to the following 999 calls: 

01 Abdominal Pain/Problems 02 Allergies (Reac7ons) / Envenoma7ons (S7ngs, Bites) 05 Back Pain (Non-Trauma7c / Non-Recent) 06 Breathing Problems 09 Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest / Death 10 Chest Pain 12 Convulsions / Seizures 17 Falls 18 Headache 19 Heart Problems / A.I.C.D. 21 Hemorrhage / Lacera7ons 23 Overdose / Poisoning (Inges7on) 26 Sick Person 28 Stroke (CVA) / Transient Ischemic AWack (TIA) 30 Trauma7c Injuries 31 Unconscious / Fain7ng(Near) 32 Unknown Problem (Collapse 3rd Party)

## **Income & Expenditure** 

We receive occasional grants of a few hundred pounds from local parish councils. Alongside this NWAS pay mileage allowance of 35p per mile for cal outs and handovers. 

Within this financial year we received a lottery  Grant for a new vehicle,(to include livery and storage unit) to an amount of £26,500 

Expenditure relates to running costs of the vehicle and small items of uniform for responders. 

Audited accounts are attached to this report. 

## **Personnel** 

At the start of the year we had a tally of four responders.  One well-qualified, experienced and valued responder stood down but remains a Trustee of the Charity. We would record our thanks here for the many hours  of dedicated responding she has put into the community over many years. 

We have had one person from the village apply to join out team and their application is currently being processed by NWAS. 

**Trustees** remain three: 

Helen Marsden (Treasurer) Ingrid shaw Michael Thompson (Team Leader) 

## **Community** 

The local community are very supportive of the First Responders and keep the residents aware of the valuable work through the Village Website:
