How
to Join
We're based in North Hampshire and
meet once a week in the evening at Crondall Old Gymnasium. We're always
looking for new volunteers to join, whether you're interested in first
aid, ambulance aid, simulation or teaching (see photos).
If you want to know more contact me by email: Hester
or phone 01252-629132.
Membership
Membership of the charity is open to any suitable
person over the age of 16 years interested in furthering the aims of HFR.
There is no discrimination on grounds of age, sex, colour, disability etc.
However, suitability for active service in certain fields may be limited
by reasons of insurance or requirements laid down in statutory law e.g.
the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). All members are responsible for
ensuring the currency of any relevant certificates.
Applicants need to be proposed by a current
member and provide contact details for one suitable referee. They may be
required to undergo such checks as deemed to be relevant by the Executive
Committee e.g. CRB.
