A Return for the Event First Aid Volunteers

Our volunteers are out this weekend providing support to the SPE count today and tomorrow. This is a great step forward with events having been cancelled during the last year of COVID-19.

Great to be getting back out and letting others know about our team and our capabilities whilst also providing support at local events!!
