Another year working at #ApplebyHorseFair @NWAmbulance been a wet few days but the sun has come out for the last day, thanks to crew mate Re for some of the pics!




What a fantastic group of staff to have on SORT induction this week, 17 staff trained, they grafted away all week. However, I am ready for my own bed and home cooking! @NWAmbulance @NARU_org @NWAmbResilience

#VEDay80 busy day as Branch Chair and later on standard bearer, great to see the town come together. @PoppyLegion @applebytown @NWambArmedForce @NWAmbulance




Good advice, enjoy the sun but take care!
☀️It's another warm day! Spare a thought for our 🚑staff working today. #Helpushelpyou by taking care of yourself & others: 💧 Drink water 🏠 Avoid sun (11am–3pm) 🧴 Wear sun cream & a hat 👵 Check on vulnerable people 😵 Know heatstroke signs More via➡️ ow.ly/BGts50VKhNt

Spot on service from @ats_euromaster #Carlisle this morning getting us back on the road 🚑 you could say they nailed it.....ok it's a bolt but you know what I mean 🤣


A very apt quote at HQ this morning. I was proud to be representing the @NWambArmedForce at a recruitment event, along side other staff networks and TUs, a very interesting morning! @NWAmbulance @Dan_shughes

What a morning! A good walk with the dog does wonders for mental health.

20th year as Appleby & District Branch Standard Bearer @PoppyLegion another well supported Poppy Appeal and parade/service, a huge thank you to all involved. @NWambArmedForce @NWAmbulance
