Hartlepool Ambulance Charity

On Saturday, we attended the Stockton Round Table in partnership with the Hartlepool Round Table charity duck race & fun day.

We had such a lovely day, we had plenty of conversations, met lots of lovely families and even got free ice cream!

Please feel free to share you photos from the event below!

**All photos have been consented to go on social media and some have been taken by members of the public**

Today we are supporting with medical aid at The Stockton Round Table Duck Race today with support of Hartlepool Round Table.

The fun for the day is on 2-5pm.

We have already had a fab start to the day, very busy with plenty of people around. Had some lovely chats, met the group, showed children the car and even got a free ice cream off the lovely ice cream man from H S Ices!

We’re now going to walk the course to see where the duck race begins!

Today our volunteer crew proudly supported the 2024 Hartlepool Carnival

Thank you so much to the Carnival Committe for having us.

We’re set up at the Hartlepool Carnival 2024!

We have our medical bay set up for all your medical needs, we have our stall set up to get your life saving goodies in and have our doll display so you can freshen up those CPR skills.

Also, get your photo taken in our brand new Ambulance selfie board

We will also be walking through the carnival parade at 4pm with our donation buckets if you want to contribute and be sure to give us a wave!

See you soon!

OUR VOLUNTEERS LOVE HARTLEPOOL

Over the past fortnight our volunteer crews have juggled their employ and have been busy supporting our Community in each and every way we can, in some cases we feel it inappropriate to mention the support given.

We have engaged in positive communications with many public and third sector organisations and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland to work on avenues of further support for our town residents all communities included.

Thank you all so much Hartlepool Round Table for the donation to support the training and development of our volunteers, this means a lot to us guys.

Thank you to Mark Payne and the staff at the Hartlepool Mail for the great write up.

Massive thanks to the guys with Hartlepool Round Table

🚑💚 Last night, Abi, Paul, and Jason met up with some of the Hartlepool Round Table lads just before our monthly business meeting at One77. We're thrilled to announce that Hartlepool Round Table has generously donated funds to the Hartlepool Ambulance Charity (HAC) to put a volunteer through their FREC3, First Response Emergency Care, training! 👏✨

The First Response Emergency Care (FREC3) Course is much more advanced than a standard First Aider course. Upon completion, volunteer Paul Craggs will be equipped to provide advanced medical care to casualties, including oxygen therapy, precise observations, triaging, bleed control, and the insertion of airways to help keep the most serious casualties oxygenated.

Charity Manager and Lead First Responder, Abi Anderson, expressed her gratitude: "It is very kind of the hardworking Hartlepool Round Table lads to make Paul's training possible to qualify as a FREC3. This has massive advantages when dealing with casualties of all kinds and even prepares you for the worst. We thank the Hartlepool Round Table for providing this training for one of our volunteers."

Hartlepool Ambulance Charity provides First Aid cover at community events, sports and cycling events, and training in essential First Aid procedures, including Basic Life Support, CPR, and the use of defibrillators.

Hartlepool Round Table Chairman, James Black, stated, "It was a pleasure to support Hartlepool Ambulance Charity with funds to develop the volunteers' knowledge and ability."

Historically, Hartlepool Round Table has provided funds to organisations that support life-saving initiatives in Hartlepool, ensuring our community is safe and well cared for.

Abi Anderson also noted, "Within a few weeks, Paul Craggs will be fully qualified to deal with all sorts of medical situations, including assisting those suffering mental health trauma"

Let's continue supporting our local heroes! 💪❤️

Tonight Volunteer First Responders Abi, Paul and Jason met some of the all giving charitable guys with Hartlepool Round Table.
