Misterton Gardeners' Club invite First Responders to annual show
Five Villages First Responders would like to pass on a very big thank you to Misterton Gardeners' Club for kindly inviting them to their annual Make, Bake & Grow show, which was held on Sunday 13th September 2026 at Misterton Primary School.
Some of the FVFR team attended and were on hand to talk about the role of our volunteer Community First Responders and also demonstrate life-saving skills like CPR and using a defibrillator to the over 300 people who attended the event.
Thank you to everyone who interacted with us and to everyone who supported this superb village event.

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.
