First Responders
Wetton & Alstonefield Community First Responders
The WACFR Team
We have provided an emergency medical response to our local community in the Peak District National Park since 1999. We recently received a Chief Officer’s Commendation from West Midlands Ambulance Service for 10 years of exemplary service.
As a registered charity and staffed entirely by volunteers, we rely completely on donations to continue our work. Each year we need about £7000 to continue providing emergency medical care.
We are always in need of new volunteers. If you would like to make a donation or want to find out about becoming a First Responder, please contact our Co-Ordinator, Nick Pope on 01538 304137 or visit our website www.wacfr.org

First Responder’s service recognised
David Lovatt of Alstonefield is Staffordshire’s longest serving Community First Responder, having been a member of the Wetton & Alstonefield group since its formation 10 years ago. He was presented with an award at a West Midlands Ambulance Service award ceremony held in Hereford in May. The Responders also received a group accolade – the Chief Officer’s commendation (see above) - which was accepted by Co-Ordinator Marion Beloe.
