September 2012 - Costa Calida Chronicle

FAST are urgently seeking new volunteers
to help maintain the 365 day 24/
cover with “Operational Responders”.
FAST also have vacancies for “Non-Operational
Volunteers” to assist with events
and support functions.
A FAST operational volunteer needs to:
• Have your own vehicle that is legal and
roadworthy
• Be in good health
• Be able to complete various training
courses and refresher training on a
reasonably regular basis
• Complete an average of 2 shifts per
month, either a 12 hour day or 12 hour
night, or a full 24 hour day duty which
can be made to fi t around your personal
commitments.
Working as a FAST volunteer is immensely
rewarding, knowing that you make a real contribution
to your community and that the residents
of Camposol really appreciate the service
that you help provide.
FAST training is something that stays with you
and gives you a skill that really counts if one
of your family, a partner, or a member of the
public ever needs help. You can be trained
to help preserve life where possible, until the
emergency services arrive. Having a fi rst aid
skill makes a difference & gives confi dence to
help, instead of standing and watching in horror!
FAST are very keen to encourage young
recruits who may benefi t from learning a
skill and having a purpose in life, helping
to integrate into our community and remove
boredom whilst improving knowledge
and gaining personal status that
can help give depth to a Curriculum Vitae
(CV) for potential employers. If you know
of a young person who may benefi t from this
experience, why not give Glen a ring on 634
313 572 or email fastcamposol@hotmail.
com or check out fast camposol on Facebook.
Why not talk to FAST now and start the
process at a pace that can made to suit you?
FAST would like to thank the residents of
Camposol for their unequalled support and
particularly Rosemary Beak and the Welcome
Group who have provided much support,
including the purchase of blood pressure
monitors. These are used during events, to
give residents who have not visited a doctor
recently, a guide on their blood pressure, as
hypertension can be a major cause of heart
disease. Further, a massive thank you to Tel’s
Bar and their customers who donate the proceeds
of their Bingo on a monthly basis which
helps fund our Oxygen usage replenishment.
Thank you to all of our supporters!
