The excellent first aid training of Hambledon residents conducted this week in the village hall was hosted by our local Community First Responders. They have asked us to publicise that they are looking for more volunteers. Guildford & District Community First Responders are recruiting new Community First Responders. They’re especially interested in applications from rural and semi-rural locations, including Cranleigh and Haslemere, and the villages around Guildford and Godalming.

If you want more information and a no-obligation chat send them a direct Facebook message . A full formal role description and link to the application form is here. The closing date is 21st July but applications may close early if there is a high volume of response.

Also – our First Responders Teresa and Marietta asked for donations of discarded bras. These are used by them on dummies to practice cutting them off! Mary Grove has offered to accumulate them and forward if left on her doorstep or maybe left at the shop?

Our 6th July training session has a few places left, so sign up now for the free CPR and early defibrillation training. One day you could save a life.

So join us for a hands-on training session to equip yourself with the skills to make a difference.

Use of defibrillators and CPR will be covered, and also any other first aid emergencies you might be concerned about. The session is free, but a donation would be appreciated. It is being run by our local NHS Ambulance Volunteers, Guildford and District Community First Responders, who respond to 999 ambulance emergencies to start treatment while the ambulance is on its way.

The session will take place 10:30am Sat 6July in Hambledon Village Hall. It will last about 1.5/2hrs. Please  contact Sarah Stuckey on sarah@stuckey.org.uk if you’d like to attend. Include your name and phone number please.

Did you know that CPR and early defibrillation can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival in an emergency?

It’s that time of year when those of us who have horses and other livestock, would love your help to keep them safe around Guy Fawkes night. Last year with your support and everyone’s diligence in the village, we were extremely thankful that none of us had any accidents or vets visits (some will remember we had a horse that nearly died from being spooked by fireworks in 2021). So please, again this year, we ask for your help to publicise and perhaps educate those who are not aware of the inherent risk from fireworks being set off near horses and livestock. It really can cause terrible tragedy. There are several stables in the village, that due to the current mild weather, have horses, including foals out at night in the fields. We really appreciate your support again.

Thank you on behalf of all the horses and livestock owners Sarah Morris (Hydon Farm) and Julie Davis (Daremead)
