The Blennerville and Derrymore CFR scheme is in the midst of being set up.

A NEW volunteer led Community First Responders (CFR) scheme is currently being proposed for the Blennerville and Derrymore areas with the aim of the potential new scheme to provide urgent basic medical care, prior to the arrival of the emergency services.

It is proposed that the new scheme will cover the area between Blennerville and Derrymore, including the townlands of Curragraigue, Tonevane, Annagh, Curraheen.

Volunteers who join the group will be trained in how to deal with various medical situations and who will then then provide the assistance in various situations.

The group is looking for anybody from these areas that might want to volunteer to join the service to get in contact with them through their Facebook page HERE or to email them at blennervillederrymore.cfr@gmail.com.
