Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity

Yorkshire Ambulance Service Charity YAS Charity complements the work of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service
(1)

YAS Charity helps fund a host of fantastic initiatives teaching thousands of people CPR and first aid skills, as well as part-funding Community Public Access Defibrillators in cities, towns, villages, and more rural areas across the region that do not already have access to them. We also support our Community Engagement team to deliver initiatives that help improve the lives of vulnerable people a

nd reduce health inequalities. We help fund the annual YAS Restart a Heart Day which offers CPR training for secondary school children. Since launching in 2014, 234,708 students have learnt CPR during 1,047 school visits thanks to ambulance staff and volunteers who have given 39,213 hours (2014-2024). And we also support the health and wellbeing of Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) employees and volunteers who help save lives every day. We enhance and promote good physical and mental health amongst our YAS colleagues by providing funding for initiatives that come directly from staff suggestions.

With England's first match happening tonight, please show us your support by drinking responsibly and avoiding confrontation.

Know your limits and please don’t drink so much that you endanger yourself and need our help. This has the potential to take away resources from people who are suffering from life-threatening injuries or illnesses.

❀️ Do you know where your nearest Public Access Defibrillator is located?

Sadly, fewer than 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Starting CPR and using a defibrillator as soon as possible can significantly improve the chance of survival.

You can find your nearest defibrillator here: πŸ”— https://www.defibfinder.uk/

YAS Charity supports the placement of Community Public Access Defibrillators across Yorkshire, improving access to life-saving equipment when it’s needed most.

If your Yorkshire community needs a Public Access Defibrillator, reach out to us at [email protected] to find out more.

**Yorkshire Ambulance Service 24-hour Bikeathon πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ**

To celebrate National Bike Week, the Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) Health and Wellbeing Team, in partnership with the YAS Charity, will be hosting a 24-hour Bikeathon at the Trust’s Headquarters Tomorrow.

This fun and active challenge will bring colleagues together to promote movement, teamwork and the importance of looking after our health, while also raising awareness of the many benefits of cycling.

Throughout the 24 hours, members of the Health and Wellbeing Team will take it in turns to keep an exercise bike moving continuously, showing how even short bursts of activity can add up and make a real difference. Staff and volunteers will also be invited to get involved by taking a turn on the bike for shorter sessions.

The Bikeathon will also raise funds for the YAS Charity, supporting future health and wellbeing initiatives for YAS staff and volunteers. Donations will help continue investment in activities, resources and support that benefit colleagues across the Trust.

Please note, this event is not open to the public. However, we are incredibly grateful for any donations made in support of the Bikeathon. Updates from the event will be shared across the YAS Charity and YAS Trust social media pages throughout the 24 hours.
