A group including two cardiac arrest survivors are launching a community first responders team for Lisburn and surrounding areas to assist the ambulance service.
The team behind Avonmore Training Solutions are hoping their group, the Mid Down and Lisburn Community First Responders, can help with emergency call-outs and save lives.
As well as covering the city of Lisburn, the group will also service Dunmurry and other parts of West Belfast, Dromore, Dromara, Caryduff, Glenavy and Moira, with plans to move further west into Co Tyrone as they gain momentum.
