First Response

continued unabated. with the charity's five
trained first responders responding to calls in
and around the local community in support of
the South East Coast Ambulance Service. The
Trustees believe that they have attended
around 200 patients in the last year.
FirstAid Training and Education
Some of our community first ￿sPonder8
have attended local events to teach members
of the community skills such as CPR and the
use of defibrillators. Events have been held at
Selling. Dunkirk and Boughton during this year.
Fundraising.
The Charity has continued to participate
in the Faversham and District Community

majority of the Charity's Income. Other
fundraising initiatives are underway but have
not yet born frui( including partnerships with
Faversham Tesco's and with one of the town's
Pubs. The Trustees intend to use funds raised
from these efforts for, amongst other purposes,
the purchase of a new portable defibrillator for
one of the Res
onders to use.
Financial Review
Review of the charty's
financial position at the end
of the period
The Charity has maintained a stable financial
position thi5 year. with the the majority of
transactions being receipts from ongoing
fundraising activity. Towards the end of the
year the charity received a significant grant
from Groundworks UK. There have been no
expenses incurred by the charity during the
ear under review.
The Trustees consider thal the charity does
not face significant financial risks at this time
as there have been no routine operating
expenses, and therefore have not made a
fomial reserves policy. The Trustees will
