Moyle Community First Responders receive generous donation from NFU Mutual to support life-saving work

Moyle Community First Responders have been given a significant boost in their ongoing efforts to save lives across the local area, thanks to a generous donation from NFU Mutual Ballymoney.

The donation — a substantial sum — will go directly towards replacing and upgrading vital life-saving equipment used by the volunteer team, who are often the first on the scene in emergency situations, providing critical care before ambulance crews arrive.

The Moyle Community First Responders are a dedicated group of trained volunteers who work tirelessly across the region, responding to 999 calls in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service. Their swift action during cardiac arrests, strokes, and other medical emergencies can often make the difference between life and death.

Speaking about the donation, a spokesperson for Moyle Community First Responders said: “We are incredibly grateful to NFU Mutual Ballymoney for their generous support. Donations like this are absolutely essential in helping us maintain and replace our equipment, ensuring we can continue to provide a high standard of emergency care in our community. This funding will go a long way in helping us save lives.”
