DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE GOES INTO CARDIAC ARREST?
Rutland Community First Responders is a small group of local people who volunteer for East Midlands Ambulance service responding to 999 calls across Rutland.
We are often FPOS (First Person on Scene) to life threatening and other emergencies. The most serious incident is a Cardiac Arrest which really needs vital CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) often called Bystander CPR, and defibrillation by an AED at the very earliest opportunity to enhance the chance of survival.
We know that most villages have an AED, but if not would strongly advise installing one. We would like to offer CPR and Defibrillator familiarisation and training to any community. If your village, parish or community would like to take advantage of our offer please contact the Group Coordinator Barbara Crellin barbaracrellin4@gmail.com to discuss and arrange.

RYHALL LIBRARY (OPEN HOUSE):
Please note that the Library will be closed on Friday 3rd June for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration. Other than that day, our volunteer team will be manning the building as usual every Tuesday and Friday afternoon in June.
Visitors may notice a few new faces in our team, and I am sure they will give them a warm welcome. We are grateful to members of the community who offer their time and enthusiasm in this way to help keep our wonderful library open. But there is always a need to replace volunteers who move out of the area or have to retire, so if you think you could spare a couple of hours of your time once per month on a day and a date to suit your preference, do please come forward and offer your services. No skills or experience are needed, just a willingness to join the team and perform the small duties necessary to open up and supervise the building on our Open House afternoons.
As ever, our Knit ‘n’ Natter group meets on the second Tuesday of the month, which this month is Tuesday 14th June. All are welcome. And Tony Critchard is available every Tuesday to help with Family History Research, which now includes access to the newly available 1921 census. No appointments are necessary, just turn up on the day.
