Location: Dane End
About Noel:
"My name is Noel Sanders and I have lived in the Puckeridge area for the last 27 years. I have always taken an active part in village life having been involved in various voluntary organisations. I was a Special Constable for 5 years and have been an Assistant Scout Leader for 25 Years. I have 3 adult children in their 20's, two of which work in the NHS. We live in changing times especially in village communities where we have an aging population. This makes the role of Community First Responder so important as we provide life saving care before the Ambulance Service arrives. Working hand in hand with East of England Ambulance Trust ensures that together we provide the best outcomes for our patients."
