The good news is for Madeley we have a great team and committee in place. A Scheme can only be successful if it is supported by the community that it serves and has enough dedicated volunteers to guarantee an excellent service.
Although First Responders respond to 999 calls BEFORE the ambulance service they are not financed by the NHS. A CFR Scheme is completely voluntary and self financing. All the life saving equipment, the response vehicle and day to day running costs has to be purchased with funds raised from the local community.
