Metheringham Area LIVES - Spring 08 Update

An update from this busy local charity providing pre ambulance emergency care.

We continue to thrive, with a new committee including 2 new co-ordinators to organise our day to day running. We currently have 9 responders and 3 more in the application process. We hold monthly training sessions to keep our skills up to date and respond to an average of 4 calls per week. Our responders have enjoyed taking part in an over 60's meeting (with an exciting demonstration of how LIVES operates) and also meeting the children of Dunston St Peters school to help get over key messages about the use of 999 calls.

We will be at the Metheringham village hall Spring Fayre on May 10th. We are keen to meet as many local people as possible, so please feel free to visit us, have an experiment with some of our equipment and get to know the First Responders.

We would like to extend a big Thank you to Neil Woolfitt of Lincoln Road Metheringham for his kind donation of £50. The money was collected during his impressive display of festive lights over the Christmas period. We are dependent on donations for our running costs and are extremely grateful to all who support our work.

Our FRIENDS of METHERINGHAM AREA LIVES scheme continues to be a popular way for people to support us. For more information contact Mary Hyde on 328607. Any other enquiries about LIVES can be directed to Beth - 321919 or Jenny - 321627
