Huge thanks to @cwmifor123 #Caerphilly for hosting us on the first day of #Shoctober. The 96 pupils from Years 4-6 were fantastic - future recruits for sure! Big shout out to Dilwyn, CFR, for joining me & giving pupils the chance to learn about the vital role of our volunteers.

The ambulance crew who brought their colleague back from the dead, the call handler who delivered a pre-term baby over the phone and the council worker who performed a daring river rescue...
Congratulations to our #WASTAwards23 winners 👏

Our voluntary Community First Responders (CFRs) continue to provide fantastic support across Wales attending more than one call every hour last month getting to more patients more quickly than this time last year. Diolch. #TeamWAST

Great to be at the @WelshAmbulance Volunteer Awards following on from their Volunteer Conference today. Fantastic to see how @SJACymru and WAST are continuing to work together on different initiatives and develop new opportunities for supporting our communities across Wales 🏴 🚑

With 100 volunteers in the team colleagues from our Volunteer Car Service (VCS) completed 48,000 patient journeys last year and travelled over 1.6 million miles. This incredible contribution to our communities is greatly appreciated. Diolch. #TeamWAST
Jon Johnston WAST retweeted
Last year our Community First Responders (CFRs) attended 14,000 calls alongside colleagues from #TeamWAST - an incredible average of 1.5 calls every hour of the year. In August there were 3 CFR initiated ROSCs and over 50% of the Red calls attended by our CFRs see arrival within 8 minutes. THANK YOU!

Looking forward to this event and telling people about #MartynsLaw
Excitement building with just a few days left, our planning window is closing, but we've got an incredible lineup of speakers in the wings. Can't wait to see our #TeamWAST volunteers and @SJACymru delegates this Saturday in North Wales! #VolunteerConference #CountdownToSaturday
