South Staffordshire First Responders receive £8,307 from Severn Trent Community Fund

South Staffordshire First Responders are today celebrating after being awarded £8,307 in funding from the Severn Trent Community Fund to support its work responding to life threatening emergencies and providing medical aid before the emergency ambulance arrives.

We’re delighted that the Severn Trent Community Fund has recognised our work in this way. We’re thankful to the Severn Trent Customer Panel for selecting us for funding in order that we can provide emergency medical help in people’s darkest moments. This grant means we can concentrate on supporting the community.

About the Severn Trent Community Fund

From 2020, Severn Trent is giving away £10 million over five years through its Community Fund to support local projects, charities and community groups in the Severn Trent region - helping to make a real and tangible difference to the wellbeing in our communities. The Community Fund is overseen by an independent panel, made up of Severn Trent customers, who review applications and make the final decisions on where the money will go. 

The Severn Trent Community Fund looks to support projects that aim to improve community wellbeing, focusing on three elements:

·         People: projects that help people to lead a healthier life and gain new skills

·         Places: projects that help to create better places to live in and use

·         Environment: projects that will help look after our natural environment, give people greater access to that environment or help look after water.
