VOLUNTEERS across the West Midlands are being recognised and thanked this week for their live-saving work helping the ambulance service.
Until June 7, as part of National Volunteer Week, the trust is giving thanks to the hundreds of people – including BASICS Emergency Doctors, community first responders, volunteer drivers, and fundraisers – who help them save lives on a daily basis.
Trust Chief Executive, Anthony Marsh, said: “We are celebrating the amazing work that our volunteers do, day in, day out, to support West Midlands Ambulance Service and the public at large.
“Hundreds of people support the Trust on a daily basis so it is only right and proper that we pay tribute to them.
“Whether you are a BASICS Emergency Doctor or someone who trains people in CPR, your work is immense and helps to save lives.
“I would also like to pay tribute to the work of the Trusts Governors who help the organisation on an on-going basis.
“We have staff, publicly elected and appointed governors who all give freely of their time to bring their counsel, support and guidance to how the organisation develops and I am very grateful for all that you do to support us.”
