All staff – from lifeguards and beauty therapists, to gym instructors and swimming teachers – have volunteered to help roll out the Covid vaccine in Pendle.
They are sharing shifts at Yarnspinners Health Care Centre in Nelson and Colne Health Centre, every Thursday to Sunday, guiding patients to the correct entrance from the car park; checking in patients and guiding them to the correct treatment room; observing patients after the vaccine and continually disinfecting bays.
This is along with other volunteers from the local community.
