Five Villages First Responders - Misterton
Welcome to Five Villages First Responders.
We are a team of
volunteer Community First Responders (CFRs) who live or work
within Misterton, Beckingham, Gringley on the Hill, Walkeringham, West Stockwith and surrounding areas in rural North Nottinghamshire & North Lincolnshire. We work in partnership
and in support of East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) NHS Trust. Our team respond to life threatening emergency calls within
our area following a "999" call and are dispatched by EMAS when required. We provide assistance to people who are ill
or injured prior to the arrival of the emergency ambulance. Our CFR's are trained in life saving heart defibrillation,
resuscitation, oxygen therapy and to care for patients with medical conditions or injuries and can give vital care until the arrival of the ambulance crew. Since our launch in April 2004 we have attended over 3,600 emergency call outs. We also run a project to support the installation of Public Access Defibrillators into the villages in our area and provide awareness session in CPR & AED use to members of the community. We are YOUR
Community First Responders, at the heart
of YOUR
community.Last year, 2024, was our 20th Anniversary year - see here for details of our celebrations.

Five Villages First Responders News & Events
John, Community First Responder from our team has been out and about on the Isle of Axholme during the last couple of weeks of January showing the members of both Owston Ferry and Haxey WIs some important life-saving skills, including CPR and using a Defibrillator. A big thank you to both groups for the very warm welcome given to John and for taking part; plus a big well done to John for his continued great work across our community.
A massive thank you to all of the team (including our very own Jess) and all the residents at Whittons Mill, Gainsborough, who chose Five Villlages First Responders as their charity of the year and have raised and donated an amazing £1,100 to our organisation. Thank you all for your hard work and fundraising efforts and for choosing FVFR, it is very much appreciated./ Pictured are Whittons Mill residents with FVFR Community First Responders George, Mary and Mick, with Jess who is an FVFR team member and the Centre Manager at Whittons Mill.
