	Eccleshall CFRS is made up of a group of volunteers who are trained by Staffordshire Ambulance Service to provide emergency medical aid to people living and working in the local community. The purpose of a Community First Responder Group is to provide emergency medical care until the professional service arrives on scene. It is important to understand that we do not replace the professional service, but we are able to provide necessary support and assistance until their arrival on scene. Eccleshall Community First Response scheme aims to provide support 24 hours, seven days per week for the residents and workers of Eccleshall and its surrounding area. To enable us to achieve this we need to enlist the help of people who would either like to train as responders or join our supporters team. Like all First Responder Schemes across the county we are not funded and all our time is given voluntarily. The money that we need for day to day running costs as well as the purchase of equipment, uniforms and a vehicle has to be raised through
fundraising events or public or private donations. If you would like to find out more about Eccleshall CFRS either as a responder or supporter or if you are able to offer sponsorship, please email us at: information@eccleshallcfrs.org.uk You can also use this email address to contact us if you would like someone to come and talk to your organisation to explain what the First Responder Scheme is all about and what the volunteers do.
