Meet Tricia. After a career in marketing, she volunteered with us, supporting families at a baby clinic. That experience helped her secure a place on a nursing degree — and she’s now set to qualify as a nurse. NHS volunteering really can change lives. #NHSVolunteers @help_force

Congrats Thomas! 👏 Amazing to see how you've brought your skills from the saddle to the ambulance service. A brilliant example of making a second career count.
Congratulations to @TheJockeyClub Achievement Award winner, former Flat jockey Thomas Brown who now works @EastEnglandAmb Ambulance Service. Thomas has shown huge commitment to his second career & has used many transferable skills as a jockey in his role now. #RichardDavisAwards

🚨 In just 2.5 months since launch, RescQ has registered over 100 bystanders involved in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) events.
We're proud to be the first UK (at least!) to document the bystander denominator & provide with much needed support.🧵

Meet Amara. She got all her vaccines while pregnant.
If you have questions about vaccines and pregnancy, talk to your midwife for help and information.

The government is consulting on changes to how public bodies buy goods and services. These reforms could affect how charities access and deliver public service contracts.
We’ve published a short news piece summarising the proposals and our next steps. If your organisation delivers public services for public bodies or provides social value for government suppliers, please take a few minutes to share your views.
🔸Read our news piece: ncvo.org.uk/news-and-insight…

"People get quite scared - as first responders, we give reassurance."
#Volunteer #CFRs play a vital role, particularly in rural areas where they often reach patients before an #ambulance arrives.
A great account of the #CFR role with @swasFT at bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czry…

Showing emotion is a strength not a weakness. It means you care. Rather than judging people who show emotion we need to look within ourselves and ask how we can support. I for one like it when people care it means humanity wins.
