Five Villages First Responders (Misterton)

Misterton based "Five Villages Community First Responders" group, North Nottinghamshire. Volunteers working with EMAS to help save lives in the community.

The Five Villages First Responder group is a Community First Responder scheme which works in partnership with East Midlands Ambulance Service in the rural part of North Nottinghamshire. The volunteer First Responders are trained to deliver life saving care such as defibrillation, resuscitation, oxygen therapy and other skills. Because the volunteer CFR's live within the local area they can arrive on the scene of an emergency quickly and begin care of the patient until the ambulance arrives. The Five Villages First Responder scheme responds to medical emergency calls when requested by the ambulance service control room following a 999 call in Misterton, West Stockwith, Beckingham cm Saundby, Walkeringham, Gringley on the Hill, Everton, Clayworth and other surrounding villages in North Nottinghamshire and North Lincolnshire. They are called to assist in life threatening situations such as cardiac arrest; unconsciousness; breathing problems such as asthma attacks; severe allergic reactions; chest pain and heart attacks; strokes; diabetic emergencies and seizures. A First Responder does not replace the ambulance service, but because they are local and we live in a rural area the CFR can usually arrive on the scene within five minutes and can provide care until the ambulance arrives. The group was formed in 2004 and since then has attended over 1,450 emergency calls. The team consists currently of 12 fully trained CFR's who work on a rota basis, giving some time each week to be "on call" should they be needed. The team is self funded through kind donations from local people, businesses and organisations. Money raised is used to purchase equipment and to keep the scheme running and to help us keep this vital service available for members of the community in the rural area of North Nottinghamshire. If you are interested in finding out more about what we do, would like to help us fund raise of give a donation or would like to consider becoming a volunteer Community First Responder, then please get in touch with us for an informal chat via our email or website (details below).

A huge thank you to Oak Tree Holiday Park & Fishery for their donation of £1,000 to Five Villages First Responders. They fund raise throughout the year to donate to several local good causes and have chosen FVFR again this year to benefit from their generosity and hard work. A special thank you to Sandra, Allison and all the residents. Pictured are Samantha and Martyn from FVFR with some of the Oak Tree residents. Thank you all 💚

Using a defib within the first 3-5 minutes of collapse can increase the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest by 50-70%.

Yet the most recent data from University of Warwick shows that public access defibrillators were only used in 9% of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in England in 2024.

It's vital we remove the fear around using defibs and help the public feel more confident using these lifesaving devices.

💚Thank you💚
A huge thank you to Chris & Phil Clay and all the team at White House Farm Misterton for the amazing donation they have given to Five Villages First Responders (Misterton).

Over £9000 was raised at their recent Party on the Field - Charity Event and has been very kindly split between five good causes.

We have received a fabulous amount of £1,822 and would like to thank Chris, Phil and everyone involved in the event, including the bands and artists who performed, all those who worked so hard to make the event happen and all those who attended, supported and donated.

Such donations help us to continue the voluntary work that we do within the local community, including providing equipment to our Community First Responders and supporting public access defibrillator sites.

Thank you all so much 💚
