About us

Red Horse Vale Community First Responders (CFR) is made up of a group of volunteers whose purpose is to provide emergency medical care until the ambulance service resource arrives on scene. The responders are trained by West Midlands Ambulance Service to provide emergency medical aid to people living and working in the local community.

The team currently comprises of seven operational CFRs, two Trainee CFRs, two Event Responders (non-operational). Our Trustees cover Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer, Scheme Coordinator, Community Training & Engagement Coordinator and Sponsorship & Fundraising Coordinator. Plus our non-operational support team members.

It is important to understand that we do not replace the ambulance service, but we are able to provide necessary support and assistance until their arrival.
