The range of roles is remarkable, but the impact is the same… together, we are here for humanity.

To every volunteer: thank you. You are the heart of what we do. Here’s to many more joining our movement in the year ahead.

#VolunteersWeek #RedCross #VolunteeringMatters

Last week, we sent a postcard to every one of our incredible @britishredcross.bsky.social volunteers, a small gesture to recognise a massive achievement.

From refugee services and crisis response to retail and comms, your compassion and care shine. #volunteersweek #VolunteersWeekScotland🧵

Since launching, Glasgow Street Aid has supported nearly 6,000 people by c70 volunteers, making #Glasgow safer and more compassionate. Their work eases pressure on emergency services while providing care with dignity. Massive thanks for welcoming me.

Happy Founders’ & Thinking Day!⚜️

Today, Scouts and Guides around the world unite to celebrate the legacy of our founders, reflecting on our shared commitment to peace, friendship, and empowering young people to be #ReadyForLife.

Looking forward #SCVOGathering 🥳

I’m going to be there Tues - Wed, keen to grab ☕️ and blether: drop me a wee note.

We are running a session on working in partnership to support people with timely discharge

Resilience in action during #StormÉowyn 🌧️

From rest centres to medical support, patient transport, and telephone welfare checks for those on the priority register—our sector once again stepped up when it was needed most - thank you. 🧵

📍 Attention #Glasgow!

Check out our newly refurbished store on Byres Road! I’ve visited a couple of times, and the transformation is amazing.

The stock is fantastic (though we’re always happy to welcome more donations!), and every purchase you make directly supports people during times of crisis.

It’s that time of year again—time to #CheckYerBawballs! 🎄

Proud to stand with @cahonasscotland.bsky.social in raising awareness about testicular cancer this festive season. Early detection saves lives, so don’t forget to check regularly.

#CancerAwareness #Christmas #TesticularCancer

I’m grateful for the warm welcome, guidance and the helpful reflections colleagues shared on all things international.

We even managed to build in time for signing off Module 10b (First Aid) and a wee promo for Merseyside Scout County on Earth Tribe

We spent time building relationships, agreeing our team charter and delving into key projects that will shape the future of our movement. At the heart of every discussion we were thinking on how these decisions benefit and support our members.

Last weekend was a productive and inspiring one - attending my first Scouts UK Leadership Team.

The weekend started by Carl reflecting on the remarkable legacy and achievements from Sharkey. A giant who has been taken from us too soon.

Proud to host and highlight the incredible work in Scotland. Haste ye back!

Investment in services upstream could prevent people reaching crisis point and reduces the pressure on NHS Boards across Scotland.

I would encourage @gov.scot.web.brid.gy colleagues to read this 🔗 www.redcross.org.uk/seen-and-hea...

New British Red Cross report highlights the vital role of targeted services in preventing frequent A&E visits.

This approach is something we have been discussing with @gov.scot.web.brid.gy to ensure people get the right support before reaching crisis.

Thrilled to have attended Scotland’s first Health Equity Network event as a steering group member.

The day facilitated insightful discussions and lively debate. There’s a real commitment to improving health equity across Scotland. We need action.
