Mayfield & Ellastone
Community First Responders

Welcome to the Mayfield and Ellastone Community First Responders’ website!

Who are we?

The group was first formed in 2002 and is now part of the West Midlands Ambulance Service. If a 999 call is made in our area, we are contacted and are usually first on scene, while the 999 call handler is still on the line. Please make sure you light up your house and, if possible, get someone outside ready to flag us down.

Our trained responders can start treatment straight away but are always backed up by a professional paramedic and/or ambulance crew.

Our latest vehicle is a Skoda Kodiaq, which was bought entirely with funds raised by the local community. 

All responders are local villagers who know their area well. Although we may be neighbours, rest assured that all details of any call-out remain totally confidential.

BBC Countryfile (from about 14 minutes) shows some of the things we do other than responding to 999 call-outs.

If you are interested in becoming a First Responder please read this Information Sheet. Please EMAIL us if you have further questions.

If you would like more information about Heartstart training click HERE or EMAIL us.

There are public defibrillators in both villages. 

Mayfield:  1 – Conygree Lane Memorial Hall     2 – At the Pavilion.        Ellastone: 1 – Ellastone Parish Hall   2 – Outside Roston Castings.

If someone has a heart attack, or you suspect that is the case, you must always phone 999 – they have the code to the box.
