Its a good job I have a Face for Radio!!!

Thanks to Robbie Burns of BFBS Radio Catterick https://www.bfbs.com/ for inviting me in to talk about Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Volunteer Community First Responders. No matter what your background, we can give you, a 4 day training courses to enable you, to be confident enough to respond to 999 calls within your community and Save Lives.

The interview will go out on BFBS soon and you can even catch the advert they have running for us, we need volunteers across Yorkshire to give a minimum of 20 Hours a month "on call", in return we give you the feeling of being amazing, as you are there for the community you are living in and Save Lives.

Do you Live on RAF Leeming?

Do you Live in Catterick Garrison?

We have schemes in these locations as well as the towns and villages around Yorkshire, including York, Ripon, Dishforth.

Use your military skills, to support the community you live in, get posted, no problem, we understand military life and thank you for what you do, whilst you are here.

Jan 2025 we trained a Military wife who was apart of the Catterick Scheme, she was amazing! Yes we were sorry to loose her in September, when her husband picked up on promotion and she moved to London, however she gave us valuable hours of support in her time as a Yorkshire Ambulance Volunteer Community First Responder.

Could you be a CFR?

🐑 More Sheep Than People…
But That’s Why We Need You! 🚑

Join Yorkshire Ambulance Service as a Volunteer Community First Responder in North Yorkshire & The Yorkshire Dales
North Yorkshire is the largest geographical area in Yorkshire, Vast, Beautiful, and Remote.
But despite its size, it has one of the lowest volunteer counts in our department.
That’s not because people don’t care, it’s because it’s harder to reach them.

In fact, the sheep-to-human ratio here is higher than anywhere else in Yorkshire!

🐑👤 Yet, our volunteers in this region consistently deliver some of the highest hours of service across the county. Their dedication is unmatched, however, to support every community, especially in the most rural corners, we need to double our volunteer Community First Responder numbers.
Next month, I’ll be running the largest CFR training course since I joined YAS in 2022.
While other areas regularly host large courses, this is a big moment for North Yorkshire — and we want YOU to be part of it.
💚 Do you have 20 hours a month available to be on Call?
If you live in North Yorkshire or The Yorkshire Dales and want to make a real difference in your community, this is your chance to:
• 🚨 Respond to emergency calls, many times before an ambulance arrives
• 🫶 Provide life-saving care and reassurance
• 🏞 Support your neighbours in some of Yorkshire’s most remote areas

📍 No medical experience needed — just a willingness to Learn (4 Day Course) – Help - Respond.
Apply today and become a vital part of the YAS family.

Together, we can make sure no community is left behind — no matter how far out they are.

Could you be number 20?

👥 You stay at home, go to work, live your life — but for just 20 hours a month, you’re “on call.”
If the phone rings, you respond. You help. You make a difference.
Then you carry on with your day.

📲 Join the team. Be the difference.
Your community needs you.
