There recently seems to be confusion around which areas we cover. If you are in any doubt please visit our Web page on www.cfrat.org.uk and click the link for "volunteer now" there you will find a map of our operational area, while it may not be exactly to the last metre accurate, it will certainly give you an idea of our patch.
**PLEASE NOTE ** at the moment we are NOT recruiting so please do not complete the volunteer registration form. We will be recruiting again soon and we will let you all know on here and our page.
Thanks
