## **Chairman’s Report** 

I am pleased to present this report on behalf of the operations team, highlighting the activities and developments within Perth First Responders over the past year. 

Over the reporting period, our dedicated volunteers have collectively contributed an outstanding **1,188.8 operational hours** and responded to **120 emergency calls** . This reflects the continued commitment, professionalism, and willingness of our responders to support the community and assist the ambulance service when needed. 

We have also been very proactive with our fundraising efforts. We continue to receive support through the Co-op Community Fund, which has enabled us to deliver Community First Responder (CFR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) awareness and demonstration sessions within our local community. These sessions are vital in helping to improve public confidence and preparedness in responding to medical emergencies. 

We are proud that one of our first responders has now qualified as a paramedic, reflecting the high standard of training and commitment within the group. In addition, two new Community First Responders have joined the Perth group, strengthening our team and helping to ensure the continued delivery of our service. 

## **Sad news** 

It is with great sadness that we report the loss of **Catherine Procter** in November 2024. Catherine was one of our original founding responders and served as charity secretary. Her dedication, professionalism, and passion played a vital role in establishing and shaping the organisation. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and worked with her. 

## **Closing remarks** 

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all our responders for their continued dedication and service. Their commitment ensures that Perth First Responders remains a valued and essential part of the emergency response network.
