Yesterday some of our team ventured over the border to #Yorkshire to provide medical support at the 3 Peaks Cyclo-Cross race.

Thankfully there were no major injuries, but we did patch up several cyclists who had taken a tumble or five, and were advised on further treatment.

Tonight's team training was our annual Basic Life Support re-qualification session, looking at CPR and using our new Schiller defibrillators. We also had content from www.braoffdefibon.co.uk, addressing inequalities in CPR on women.

This donation will help keep our waterproofs and boots in top condition, so we stay dry and ready for action 🥾🌧

As an organisation made up entirely of volunteers, support like this makes it possible for us to respond - day or night, 365 days a year - to those who need us 🙏

A huge thank you to Grangers for their generous donation of cleaning and waterproofing products 🙌.

Our kit takes some serious punishment, especially in the Trough of Bowland where peat bogs and bracken can swallow team members whole (well almost!).
