Put simply, we literally couldn’t do what we do without you. Without your support, there would be no CFR service in Alderminster, Ettington, Fulready, Halford, Newbold-on-Stour, Pillerton Hersey, Pillerton Priors, Tredington, Walton and the other villages in our coverage area. Please see the letter from West Midlands Ambulance Service here which outlines the importance of First Responders to the ambulance service and the importance of community support in funding First Responder Schemes.

We would like to recognise and thank the following individuals, local companies and organisations for their contribution and support to the Ettington Community First Responder Scheme. It's appreciated so much.

May 2010: Major award from Big Lottery Fund

Funding to increase the number of First Responder equipment sets. It will also be used to increase the range of equipment that we carry to support the more specialised training that the team is undertaking with West Midlands Ambulance Service. This is a substantial Award and the Scheme wishes to thank the Big Lottery Fund for its support.

Please see the lottery news item for more details.
