02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The North Berwick Community First Responders charity was set up to support the work of the Scottish Ambulance Service Community First Responders team centred on North Berwick. It is separate from the operational group of first responders. The Scottish Ambulance Service meets almost all of the operational group's operational costs. As the operational group is liable for meeting the cost of any future replacement AED and uniforms (but not on-call consumables), the charity was set up to provide a regulated framework within which to fundraise for such items. Should the operational group choose to buy non-essential kit for training purposes, the charity would meet the cost. The charity has also been involved in local events to support people to learn CPR skills.
