From Acorns grow big trees. 20 years ago the First CFR Group was formed in Dunlavin, Co Wicklow. The National CFR network has over 300 groups with 4000 responders helping their local community by providing immediate care to assist @AmbulanceNAS patients.

Twenty years after the idea was first mooted in a Co Wicklow village, Ireland's network of community first responders is now made up of 4,000 volunteers in more than 300 groups nationwide.
