Selsey Open Gardens Proceeds again from the sale of programmes this year are going to Selsey Community First Responders.
Since 2001 the Selsey Community First Responders (CFRs) have answered 999 calls and provided lifesaving emergency treatment within Selsey. Each CFR is equipped with a Defibrillator and Oxygen, as early defibrillation significantly increases the patients’ chances of survival. CFRs are trained to help with cardiac arrest and other medical emergencies such as trauma, stroke and diabetic problems.
Sometimes during the busy summer months, it can be difficult for the Emergency Services to reach us quickly on the peninsula and so the role of the CFR becomes even more vital
There is no government or NHS funding for your voluntary Responders, so they rely on local businesses and residents of Selsey to help them.
There will also be demonstrations by the Selsey Community First Responders on the day at Thrive in Ellis Square
Please do come along to the Open Gardens and help support such a vital resource.
