From Acorns grow big trees. 20 years ago the First CFR Group was formed in Dunlavin, Co Wicklow. The National CFR network has over 300 groups with 4000 responders helping their local community by providing immediate care to assist National Ambulance Service 🇮🇪🚑 patients rte.ie/news/leinster/…

We are in awe of our 300 plus volunteer CFR groups who respond to Ambulance Emergencies in their local Communities. #Lifesavingcommunity

Well done to the NAS Community team, who oversee the establishment and development of CFR schemes all over Ireland and our islands. CFRs make a real difference to their communities, and no where is this more visible than on the islands.

At the end of last month there were 326 active CFR groups that responded to 1106 calls - that's more than 35 responses every single day in March! If you're interested in helping your community and learning life-saving skills; go to becomeacfr.ie & find your local group
