Tomorrow’s the big day!

Tomorrow, Isaac, one of our Cadet Sergeants at St John Ambulance Dufferin Cadets, will be taking on the Bangor 10K to raise funds for our Unit.

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has already donated and supported Isaac.

Every donation is helping us continue to provide our young people with opportunities to learn vital first-aid and lifesaving skills, build confidence, develop leadership skills and support their local community.

But there’s still time to give Isaac one final boost before he heads to the start line!
If you’re able to make a donation, no matter how big or small, it would be hugely appreciated. And if you can’t donate, please share this post — helping us spread the word can make a real difference.

Let's get behind Isaac for his final push and cheer him on as he takes on 10K around Bangor tomorrow!

A huge congratulations to our very own Helen Crooks, Assistant Unit Manager, on receiving the Alistair Barr Award for exemplary academic achievement as part of NIAS Cohort 18.

From all of the Leadership Team, Unit Manager, Assistant Managers, Officers and every one of our volunteers, we want to say just how incredibly proud we are of Helen and this fantastic achievement.

From the moment Helen joined our unit, her potential, dedication and commitment were clear to see. She has always brought enthusiasm, professionalism and a genuine desire to help and support others, and it is wonderful to see her hard work and determination recognised in this way.

Helen is a valued and respected member of our unit, and watching her continue to develop both personally and professionally has been a real source of pride for us all.

This award is thoroughly deserved, and we know this is only the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her career.

Congratulations, Helen — everyone at the unit is incredibly proud of you. We wish you every success as you move forward with your practice-based learning and your future career with NIAS.

Let’s take a moment to congratulate Helen on this fantastic achievement and wish her well in her exciting career.

Another busy week at Dufferin!

Last week our Cadets started back at the unit for the new training term. It was great to have everyone back together after the summer, ready for another term of training, learning and teamwork.

Although our regular unit nights were paused over the summer, our Cadets have still been busy getting involved in public events, volunteering and community engagement.

Our adult ambulance crew were also out during the week supporting patient transfers between hospitals.

Later in the week, some of our adult volunteers were providing medical cover at Belfast Culture Night, working alongside friends from North Belfast Ambulance Unit, Eastern District and Regional Events to support the event and help keep those attending safe. It's always great to work alongside friends from across SJANI and come together to support our communities.

And now we're looking ahead to next Saturday, 26th September, when one of our own Cadet Sergeants, Isaac, will be taking on the Bangor 10K to raise funds for Dufferin Cadets.

If you can, please support Isaac with a donation or by sharing his fundraiser. Every donation and share helps us continue providing first-aid training, lifesaving skills, leadership opportunities and community experiences for our young people.

Good luck, Isaac — we'll be cheering you on!
