I was impressed by the model of great partnership you have demonstrated in your community. You saw the need for accessible defibrillators in your rural community, you had a vision, brought people together, raised significant funds and trained this team of invaluable experienced and skilled volunteers, the Community First Responders. You then set out your stall to go one better and provide your volunteer team with a customised car and amazingly achieved this in three months due to the community engagement.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend due to other commitments. I would like to mention that the work that RCDG is nothing less than outstanding, and has been a driving force not only locally but I understand that you are now helping other areas follow your successful model. This shows that your efforts are not going unnoticed and I wish you all continued success in the future.
