The Harwich Society’s programme of winter talks will continue on Friday 30th January when Tony Johnson will be the guest speaker speaking on the work within our local community of the Harwich Community First Responders.
The talk will take place on Friday 30th January in the Navigator, Barrack Lane in Harwich commencing at 7.30PM and is free of charge to all Harwich Society members. Light refreshments will be available.
Chairman of the Harwich Society, Andy Schooler, says, “Our guest speakers are always interesting but this month’s talk is on a subject that may directly affect any of us so I am sure there will be even more interest than usual.”
Harwich Community First Responders (CFRs) are local volunteers with the East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST) who respond to 999 calls for emergencies like cardiac arrests and chest pains in their community, providing vital early help before an ambulance arrives by using skills in first aid, oxygen, and defibrillation. They are dispatched by EEAST, attend calls in their own vehicles after a training course, and offer significant community support, with active recruitment for new members.
“Our members are always appreciative of our guest speakers but I think that this month’s talk will end a little differently,” continued Andy Schooler. “Our talks usually end with our members thanking the speaker for a very interesting talk. This time I think they will also be thanking him for helping to keep us all safe at times of medical emergency.”
