Helping us financially or in kind

Like all Community First Responder teams in the UK, Ettington CFR Scheme is a voluntary organisation in which members freely give their personal time and where we are funded entirely by public donations and other community funding initiatives.  Keeping ourselves financially viable is a constant task with much of the activity being labour intensive.  This is, of course on top of our primary role of providing emergency medical care.

There are a number of ways in which you can support us financially:

• By making a Donation
  We gratefully welcome donations from individuals, businesses and fundraising organisations.

• By hosting a Collection Box
  Collection boxes are hosted by local businesses and are a good source of funding for us.  They are virtually maintenance-free for the business manager/owner as we manage swapping of the boxes and provide the manager/owner with a receipt of the sum collected.
• By providing Goods or Services for Fundraising Events
  We run a number of fundraising events which often include a raffle with prizes.  If you run a business and can provide a prize for one of our raffles – either goods or services – please get in touch with us.

• By providing Goods or Services for team use
  If you run a business that provides goods or services that the team uses or could use either free of charge or at a discounted rate we would be very grateful to hear from you. 

• By organising a Fundraising Event
  If you are prepared to organise a fund-raising event with Ettington CFR Scheme as the sole or part beneficiary, we would be very grateful.
