Great to see The Falkirk Herald running this story to cover such an important news story close to our hearts ❤️

Paramedic Rod Moore will continue to help save lives thanks to this tribute.

Today, our charity had the honour, of unveiling a plaque and placing a Public Access Defibrillator, in memory of the late Rod Moore, who was one of the key driving forces behind our First Responder scheme, 20 years on, being what it is today.

Rod, who had retired, gave everything to his job and sadly lost his life during the pandemic after returning to duty.

A touching celebration of Rod’s life, which was well attended by SASRA members, SAS serving staff, Police, Fire, ourselves, Safebase Scotland and Rod’s family.

Rest in Memories Rod and the legacy that you’ve left behind ❤️

Glad to have been able to help Bridge of Allan Golf Club learn some life saving skills and remove the fear of using an AED should it ever be required.

Thanks as always to Martin from our team and charity for the work done in this space 💪

🏥DEFIBRILLATOR UPDATE 🏥

Massive thanks to Martin Stuart, a volunteer with Forth Valley First Responders, for coming to the club to demonstrate delivery of CPR and how to use our new Automated External Defibrillator to a group of 20 staff and members .

Our new AED is now fully operational and registered on The Circuit ( - https://www.thecircuit.uk/), so available for use by our members and local community, and visible to the emergency services.

🙏Again, none of this would be possible without Stirling and Bridge of Allan Round Table who provided the funding. Thank you.

Bridge Of Allan, keeping it local. - please share
