ABOUT US
For the good
of the community.
Moyle Community First Responders brings local volunteers together to help people at a critical time.
OUR ROLE
Supporting the emergency response.
The group provides early assistance in the Ballycastle area. Volunteers are trained by NIAS and respond when alerted to appropriate emergency calls.
Moyle’s work with NIAS and Dalriada Urgent Care was recognised in a Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council feature in October 2022.
Local knowledge.
Practical skills.
Compassion.
A community response is built on people who care about their neighbours.

02
Volunteers offer care
