Aim
North Warwickshire Community First Responders (NWCFR) want to replace our existing patient monitors and upgrade public access defibirllators
NWCFR is a charity, and we attend the most serious 999 calls that the ambulance service receive. We get dispatched to category 1 and 2 calls across North Warwickshire, arriving before the regular ambulance arrives. Our job is simple, preserve life and attend to ill patients who may be having a cardiac arrest, stroke, fitting, chest pains, catastrophic bleeding and provide life saving (in some cases) interventions.
In 2026 so far, we have volunteered over 1400 hours of time and attended over 230 of the most serious calls, all in North Warwickshire. This means in 230 cases we were on scene first, attending to patients on what is typically the worst day of their life.
We would like to raise £6000 to help us buy new patient monitoring equipment (this measures heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels) for our three Ambulance cars. These monitors help us to perform the right treatment and also aids escalation if we need additional help even quicker
We have been very generously supported by the Mortgage Advice Bureau (MAB) Foundation who have agreed to match your donation 3:1 so if you donate £10 into the project we receive a total of £40 back, many thanks MAB Foundation !!
We are all trained volunteers who give up our time with no reward, we get no funding from the ambulance service, and rely on generous donations to keep us running.
The money will also used to upgrade the public access defibrillators you see around the streets of North Warwickshire, we are custodians of over 25 of them in the region. We want to upgrade the fleet to defibrillators that can be used on any age, and are extremely easy to use.
