FVFR Team Keeping Busy
Martyn Johnson • November 11, 2023
Our volunteers are working hard across the local area
It's been another busy couple of months for our team of volunteer Community First Responders (CFRs). 28 emergency calls attended in September & 16 call outs across the local community in October, totalling 205 so far this year. We’ve also continued supporting local Community Public Access Defib sites, plus 3 of our team attended the regional East Midlands Ambulance Service CFR conference in Leicestershire at the end of September, as well as more training sessions to refresh skills and knowledge.
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.
