MEFAS was set up in 1968 by former members of Kingston Civil Defence Corp which was being disbanded.  Those volunters decided that the skills they  learnt should not be lost.  MEFAS founder members were well experienced in First Aid and Search and Rescue techniques involving compromised buildings and passed on their skills to new members.

MEFAS continued practicing Civil Defence techniques and specialised teaching first aid to the public and, later became a registered charity. 

Current members are continuing to develop and enhance their own First Aid skills and others in the borough.  Besides teaching public First Aid, trainers are qualified to teach HSE and OfSted compliant courses to Level 3.  MEFAS is looking for new members who are trained or willing to train to become registered First Aid trainers.  In addition new members without existing qualifications can train from basic Emergency First Aid to Full range First Aid with the possibility of practical training if willing to attend school events and similar.  If you do not wish to undertake First Aid we have a need for It specialists to enhance the web site and carry out other administrative work such as invoicing or even stores management.  

MEFAS aims to be the premier First Aid training organisation in New Malden and surrounding areas and provides a range of courses at its own premises or at clients.  Please see below for further details.  Find us here at the rear of the Malden Leisure Centre
