A TEAM of dedicated community volunteers trained to respond to emergencies have welcomed a brand-new member.

The Harwich and District Community First Responders has bolstered its crew with the appointment of trained responder Dominique.

She will now be on hand to attend any emergency incidents in the Harwich and Dovercourt areas working in conjunction with the East of England Ambulance Service.

A spokesman for the group said: "We would like to welcome her into our group and wish her all the very best for her future supporting our community."
