We work closely with the police and the ambulance service in Cheltenham's night time economy providing support as and when requested. Intervention by Cheltenham Guardians in incidents often negates the requirement for emergency services attendance and keeps the statutory emergency services free to attend other jobs.
Our work in Cheltenham's night time economy has saved the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust in Gloucestershire an estimated £286,000 over the past 5 years. The wider savings to the NHS, police, criminal justice system and the community are estimated to be around £1million.
Utilising a modern liveried rapid response vehicle we can respond to emergencies across the town centre within 3 minutes. We benefit from an exemption to town centre traffic regulation orders so that we may traverse pedestrianised areas too.

Our rapid response vehicle is equipped with a large multiple casualty emergency first aid kit including a trauma kit, burns kit and a state-of-the-art fully automated external defibrillator (AED). From a swollen ankle to a cardiac arrest we're ready.
Our work in Cheltenham's night time economy has been recognised by way of not one but two Breeze Local Heroes Awards, these being the Charity Champion award and the Outstanding Bravery award, voted for by the community.
Recognition and support from the Cheltenham community we proudly serve drives us to exceed expectations for the benefit of our service users, which we often do. We could not do what we do without the support of the community.
