Community First Responders (CFRs) operate within the communities in which they live or work, providing lifesaving emergency aid early and ahead of ambulance arrival. They help to save lives, reduce pain and provide reassurance to those requiring emergency care.

Donations support volunteer CFRs with enhanced equipment and training, over and above that provided by the NHS.

CFRs can be called on at any time, day or night, and as the most rural Ambulance Service in England, the contribution of the CFRs is invaluable.

The Newent CFR team is looking to fundraise for extra equipment to enable more responders to be available at the same time.
