🐑 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.

🚨 19 Local Heroes On Call This Morning! 🚨
From Boroughbridge to Richmond and The Dales to the Coast, 19 Volunteer Community First Responders are logged on and ready to help — ordinary people like YOU, at home or work, with a phone by their side… just in case someone nearby dials 999.

💛 Already today, 3 responders have stepped up to support someone in their community.
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.
