All our members are volunteers. East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) do support us with supplies of consumables such as oxygen, airways, bandages etc. However, it is down to each CFR group to raise funds to buy, maintain and upgrade equipment as necessary.
Please help Ashfield Community First Responders by donating what you can so we can reach our financial goal.
If you own, or are part of an organisation, who can help us with a larger donation we would love to speak to you directly. You can contact us via our website www.ashfield-cfr.co.uk or via our Facebook www.facebook.com/ashfieldcfr and Twitter page twitter.com/ashfieldcfr Thanks for reading
