West Cork rapid response group issues SOS call to fundraise for life-saving medical kits

Clubs, societies, and community groups throughout West Cork are being urged to throw their support behind a massive fundraising drive to pay for €72,000 worth of life-saving medical kits for the voluntary West Cork Rapid Response service.

A list of fundraising ideas, from coffee mornings to car washes and 5K walks is being put together by the fundraising committee of the community-based emergency response charity.

All that’s needed is an army of volunteers to put the ideas into action, says Kate Crowley of the fundraising committee.
