About Us

A Community First Responder scheme is a locally managed group of volunteers who may choose to elect a Local co-ordinator and plan their own 'on-call' rota to cover their own community. Ideally, each community will have 24-hour cover, 365 days a year but it may not be possible to do this if there are only a few volunteers.
A minimum of five volunteers are required in order to set up a scheme.
In Stonehouse the First Responder Scheme has been live since 18:00 on 28th August 2009. To date we have been responding to approximatley one calls every two days.
