Managing the NNCFR team of voluntary community first responders fills me with immense pride. These everyday heroes selflessly dedicate their time and skills to serve our community, and I am privileged to lead them. Their commitment to saving lives, their compassion during emergencies, and their unwavering support for one another inspire me every day. As a team, we make a tangible difference, and knowing that we contribute to the well-being of our neighbours is both an honour and a privilege

As the deputy coordinator of our Community First Responders, it conveys a sense of great joy, satisfaction, and pride to support and help manage such a dedicated team of volunteers. Commitment to serving our community during emergencies is nothing short of inspiring. Whether it’s providing life-saving aid or offering comfort to those in distress, their actions make a substantial impact. Being part of this compassionate and efficient team is a privilege—one that allows me to contribute directly to the safety and well-being of our North Northants Community.

My role involves managing our medical supplies, equipment, and resources. Knowing that I contribute directly to our team’s effectiveness during emergencies fills me with pride. Whether it’s organizing kits, maintaining inventory, or coordinating with suppliers, I appreciate the privilege of supporting our dedicated volunteers.

Community Training Lead - Desborough Responder - James Spencer
Having always had an interest in emergency medicine and first aid. I enjoy my role within NNCFR, attending patients in my local community, providing life saving interventions, and life sustaining treatments, in the few critical minutes before an ambulance arrives.
I find teaching BLS in the community and schools very rewarding.. to help pass on some basic skills, to built confidence and resilience in communities.
Anyone can save a life, and I hope by continuing to run free workshops for the community we can empower people to help someone in their time of need.
Development Lead - Corby Responder - Mercedes Britton
My role within the scheme is Development Training Lead. I find immense satisfaction in empowering volunteers to make a difference. Guiding them through their responder career, I witness their growth and dedication first hand. Whether it’s refreshing life-saving skills or completing their annual ride out shifts with them, I’m inspired by their commitment to reaching potential life-threatening emergencies swiftly. Together, we create a safety net, bridging the crucial minutes before professional help arrives.
Scheme Car Lead - Corby Responder - Mark Neve
I am responsible for looking after our scheme car ensuring its always clean and well presented. I also make sure the car is taken for regular services and any faults looked into, meaning we can be on the road as much as possible responding to emergency calls. I became a CFR after 5 years as a Special Constable for Northamptonshire police and have not looked back since. I find the role so rewarding and hope to maybe one day make it a full time career

Recruitment & Mentor Lead - Corby Responder - Tina Bangs
As a Community First Responder, I thoroughly enjoy being able to make a difference and assist in my local community. One regret I have always had is not choosing the medical indutry as a career therefore I feel I am somewhat achieving my dreams by helping as a responder in patients times of need.
As the NNCFR Recruitment and Mentor lead, I have the great pleasure of introducing new potential responders to the scheme. Supporting them through the recruitment process and then, once qualified, through their mentoring period. I really love watching their confidence grow and I feel so proud of them once they're signed off solo.
