Love this

Happy Valentine’s Day from Naas Community First Responders ❤️🚑

Brad Pitt might be famous for stealing hearts 💕
but in Naas CFR, we’re the ones who know how to restart them. 😉
While he’s out there causing palpitations, we’re out here fixing them. 💪

CPR, defibs, calm heads, steady hands 🙌 that’s our love language ❤️

This Valentine’s Day, skip the flowers. 💐
Learn how to save a life instead. It’s far more attractive.😉

If your community group, organisation, workplace, sports club or housing estate would like CPR & Defibrillator training, slide into our inbox:
📧 naascfr@gmail.com

And if you fancy becoming a real-life heartthrob (or heart-saver), volunteer with us. We promise it’s more impressive than chocolates. 🍫

Because nothing says romance like being ready when someone’s heart skips a beat. 💘⚡

KCRU is only one out of the 300+ CFR Schemes within Ireland.

The logo's of a small mix of schemes here reflect the diversity, scale and shared goals of each of the over 300 CFR schemes operating under the direction of the National Ambulance Service (NAS)

KCRU has been able to develop due to the support of not alone our locally based schemes back in 2015 but through the guidance and support at a national level.

This continues and we have also been privileged to provide support to schemes whether it be training, equipment or advice.

Working together at all times in the interests of patient care.

We were delighted to accept the donation of an InciTent from Jonah Roche. This innovative pop-up tent can be used during outdoor emergencies, protecting patients from the elements while also providing vital privacy from onlookers.

Jonah very kindly brought the InciTent to our recent training session, where he demonstrated how easy it is to use and just how versatile it can be. We're sure this brilliant invention will be put to great use.

The InciTent is available from Jonah’s website: www.skillshop.ie

Carey Christmas House | W23VW52 | Leixlip | County Kildare
💫⭐️
This house has everything that could make someone’s Christmas truly happy.
The Carey family home in Leixlip has once again gone all-out for the season, transforming itself into a dazzling spectacle of colour and creativity. The lights are absolutely breathtaking… a joyful burst of artistic imagination that brightens the entire street.

Even more heartwarming is the cause behind it: all in aid of the wonderful Leixlip Community Responders, a grassroots charity devoted to keeping the community safe and supported.

This Christmas, make it part of your festive trail. Visit this magical house, soak in the glow of its enchanting spirit, and, if you can, offer a small donation to help a meaningful cause. And don’t forget to stop by Santa’s cosy, warm grotto 🎅 a little corner of pure Christmas wonder.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Confey Gaa Club for the fantastic donation following their great Colour Run event.

This will be a huge help towards our costs and will help ensure we continue our invaluable work within the Leixlip community.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Colour Run on September 28th with shared fundraising going to our juvenile teams and the wonderful crew . Members of Confey GAA Social Committee presented our local First Responder crew with a cheque of €1400 tonight. We thank them for all the amazing work they do to help in the community and provide people with care in times of great need and worry.
