LIVES - Winter 2008

Many thanks to all who supported our stall at the Fayre and Feast. We had a busy afternoon and were, as always, encouraged to meet and chat to so many of the Metheringham and Dunston people who have benefited from a LIVES Responder visit. Congratulations to Mrs Dobbs from the Haven who was the winner of the name the baby competition. She chose the name Amber for our resusci baby. Baby Amber is our latest training resource, purchased with the money donated by our local supporters. She is a functioning dummy, enabling our intermediate responders to practise esuscitation techniques to be used on babies and small children. Paediatric callouts are a small but vital part of the work of our more experienced and highly trained responder. Thank you also for the donation from the Baumber family. We are very grateful for the generosity of their friends and family, and their ongoing support of our work. Just a quick note to anyone who wishes to support us financially, all cheques must be made payable to LIVES, as the bank will not accept cheques made out to First Responders. We wish you all a very merry Christmas, and hope not to see too many of you during the festivities!! Jenny Hutchinson - Group Co-ordinator 01526 321627
