The Co-operative Food - Southampton, City Gateway

We are a charity community preschool for local children aged between 2 years and 4 years old. Many of our children live in flats without gardens, therefore have little access to an outside space. Many of our families are on a low income and the children really benefit from having outside activities and a healthy snacks at Pre-School.

Scout group for young persons from 6-14 years old across Beavers, Cubs and Scouts delivering programme of fun activities which help young people become better citizens.

South Central Ambulance Charity works across Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire as well as supporting our Patient Transport Services in Surrey and Sussex. The NHS only funds SCAS to make sure everyone has the BASIC tools they need to do their jobs. With your help, we could give our staff access to equipment to allow even better care of patients. The demand for services is increasing each year and we need your help to get to those patients who have a life-threatening emergency as quickly as possible. As a charity we have three key objectives: 1. To provide equipment, uniform and training for our volunteer Community First Responders All our Community First Responders (CFRs) are volunteers, and they come from every walk of life. What they have in common is their desire to make a difference by volunteering in life and death situations. CFRs assist the Ambulance Service by attending emergency calls in the areas where they live or work. As they are local, they can often reach a potentially life-threatening emergency in the first vital minutes before the ambulance crew can get to the scene. The NHS does not fund the ambulance service to provide this. With your help, we can give local communities the skills they need to help themselves, and each other, in a life-threatening emergency. 2. To build awareness of life-saving skills and defibrillators in our communities A little bit of knowledge goes a long way towards saving a life. We want to deliver: • Basic awareness training about public access defibrillators in every community where we have installed one. • First aid and basic life-saving training in schools and communities. • Access to lifesaving skills and information for everyone by making basic training available online. 3. Supporting our Staff Our ability to provide life-saving care is increasingly dependent on our faculty to make sure our staff have access to all the latest technology. Developing 999 care of the future means investing in research, development projects, introducing new ways of working and new equipment. We also support our frontline staff by investing in their working environment.
