What is a CFR? A Community First Responder (CFR) is a volunteer trained by the ambulance service to respond to life-threatening emergencies. Based in their local communities, CFRs often arrive first before any other assets. For more info 👉 keelecfr.org.uk

As a charity, we rely on donations from the public for the vast majority of our funding. We regularly hold stalls on the University campus, do challenges (spinathons, booking on marathons), and our volunteers will take on personal goals to raise money.
