Today we highlight Uckfield & Area Community First Responders.

Uckfield Community First Responders are dedicated volunteers from the local Uckfield community, trained by the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) to respond swiftly to 999 emergency calls.

Mobilised by the ambulance control teams, they operate within the community, allowing them to reach the scene of a medical emergency in a matter of minutes, sometimes while the caller is still on the phone.

Their presence in the community enables them to provide critical support right where it’s needed most.

For more information please see: https://www.uckfieldcfrs.org/

Unfortunately, there will be no Pop-up presence by Wealden Volunteering during June in either:

We very much hope to be able to resume these both in due course.

HOWEVER

we still have a monthly presence in Heathfield and of course we are open 4 days a week in Uckfield.

Mons 10.00 - 13.00
Tues 10.00 - 16.00
Weds 10.00 - 13.00
Thus 10.00 - 16.00

Any other questions? Then please pop into the Uckfield Banking Hub whenever they are open (Mon-Fri 09.00 to 17.00) and I'm sure one of their friendly team will be able to help you.
