North Northants Community First Responders
Operations Manager - Simon Malin
As the Operations Manager 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.
Deputy Operations Manager - Community Training Lead - 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.
Kit & Equipment Operations Secretary - Rosemary Guthrie
As the kit and asset lead for our community first responder team, I find immense satisfaction in ensuring that our team is well-equipped and prepared. 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. Their commitment inspires me, and I take pride in being part of this vital aspect of our life-saving efforts

Recruitment & Mentor Lead - 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.

I’ve always been passionate about the emergency services, and it’s a privilege to be part of North Northants Community First Responders, a team dedicated to providing lifesaving procedures and essential training across North Northamptonshire.
Alongside my role as a Community First Responder, I also manage the IT systems and infrastructure for the team. Supporting our communication tools, apps, and processes so they run smoothly. By integrating technology with emergency response, this helps enhance our ability to serve the community when every second counts.
First Aid Cover Lead - Keli Watts
I’ve always had an interest in the medical world but my busy life meant I’ve not had the time to pursue this interest. Now that my retired (but not much less busy!) I really happy to be involved with NNCFR. The training is great and always really interesting. The group is full of colourful and fascinating people from every walk of life. The work with patients is fulfilling and helping in the community is what I’m all about!
