Like all Community First Responder teams in the UK, we are funded entirely by public donations and other community funding initiatives. Keeping ourselves funded and financially viable is a constant task with much of the activity being labour intensive. This is, of course on top of our primary role of providing emergency medical care.
It costs about £1,200 to equip each of our Community First Responders (CFRs) with a full set of equipment. Once the equipment has been purchased there are the ongoing costs of maintenance and consumables such as defibrillator pads that can only be used once. There are also the costs of purchasing additional equipment as more CFRs join the team and of keeping the scheme car operational.
Thank you sincerely for your support.

Helping us by organising a fundraising event
An effective way to raise funds for a chosen charity is to take part in a sponsored activity or to organise a specific event.
If you would like to do this for Red Horse Vale CFR Scheme please take advantage of the facilities offered by our free online donations facility, PayPal Giving Fund. As you can read here, not only is this service free of charge and a very easy way to collect and monitor donations but it also supports gift aid and allows you to create your own web page to promote your event.
