THE Welsh Ambulance Service is celebrating the work of its volunteers as part of national Volunteers’ Week. Volunteers’ Week (June 1 to 7) is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering. More than 800 volunteers give up their time to support the ambulance service in Wales, including 600 Community First Responders and 200 Volunteer Car Drivers. Jason Killens, Chief Executive of the Welsh Ambulance Service, said: “As an ambulance service, we depend hugely on the contribution of our volunteers, come rain or shine. “The commitment from volunteers through the Covid-19 pandemic in particular has been incredible, and we are enormously grateful to those who have stepped up to help us during these difficult times.
