Why do our Community First Responders do this voluntary role?

Paul, a Community First Responder said "I was looking for a volunteering opportunity which would allow me to feel like I was contributing to the safety and wellbeing of my local community. Being a CFR has allowed me to achieve this - from attending a fall to carrying out CPR I know that I am helping my community at an often worrying time."

We ask that you are free to attend an interview on Microsoft Teams, then a recruitment evening on 10th January. You will then need to attend 4 days of training which will take place on 3rd & 4th February and the 17th & 18th February 2024.
