I'm raising £5,000 to support the efforts of the Ludlow Community First Responder Scheme (LCFR)

The Ludlow Community First Responder Scheme was established in 2000, when volunteer schemes to support the ambulance service were first developed in Shropshire. Since then, our members have been active in the local community and surrounding areas working closely with the West Midlands Ambulance Service to provide critical life saving care.

All CFR's are volunteers and have been trained in advanced first aid by West Midlands Ambulance Service. They make themselves available to ambulance control and will attend 999 emergencies in the local community, providing care and treatment until the arrival of a full-time ambulance resource. Our members can be called upon at any time, whether at home, work or even during an outing!

In addition to giving up their free time to attend emergency calls, our volunteers also commit many hours to training, scheme meetings, fundraising, and public relations events.

Each Community First Responder scheme is self-funding and relies on their own fundraising, in addition to the generosity of local businesses, individuals and organisations for support. This ensures we can provide an essential service to the local community.
