About Nene Valley Community First Responders.
Community First Responders are part of a scheme founded and run by volunteers who give up their spare time to attend appropriate emergency calls in their community. Also, they are dispatched by the East Midlands Ambulance Service Emergency Operations Centre.
The volunteer responders give their time for operations and training freely and the money that they use for our day-to-day running costs, as well as the purchase of equipment and uniforms, is raised through fundraising events, and public and private donations.
