Manningtree Community First Responders

Serving Manningtree, Mistley, Lawford, Brantham, Bradfield, Ardleigh & Dedham

Interested in volunteering as a Community First Responder? Get in touch

We are a group of professional volunteers trained by the ambulance service to respond to life-threatening emergency calls within the local area. Under the Manningtree First Responder group we run four life saving kits based in Manningtree, Brantham, Bradfield & Ardleigh. We respond to calls in Manningtree, Mistley, Lawford, Bradfield, Brantham, Ardleigh, Dedham, Wix, Little Bromley and have been out to East Bergholt, Langham and the outskirts of Harwich if required.

When a member of the public calls 999 for a life-threatening medical emergency within our local area the control centre will quickly assess the symptoms and, under certain criteria, dispatch an ambulance and a First Responder. As First Responders live locally the delay between calling 999 and receiving medical help can be greatly reduced.
