How it started V’s How it ended! 🤣

A busy busy day for our cadets on duty at the Antrim Coast Half Marathon as they helped man the treatment centre with our adult unit. 🏃🏻🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏻🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️

Huge thanks to Alison and Billy from North Belfast Cadet Unit who travelled to Larne to help supervise our cadets. Our entire adult unit was on duty today so it was great to get the added help to deploy our cadets into the fray too! ☺️💚

On this sunny Friday we kicked off a weekend of providing first aid, ambulance and paramedic cover at the Irish Coastal Rowing Championships in Glenarm. We were pleased to have Cadets from our youth unit join us for some extra help today too.
It’s great to see our youth following in the footsteps of our adult volunteers in giving up their free time to provide help to anyone who should need our service.
Hopefully the good weather lasts through to Sunday for all the rowing action.

It’s National Volunteers Week!
So we want to recognise the adult volunteers who give up their time to run our Cadet Unit.
Not only do we want to thank them for giving up their Tuesday nights for the cadets but to show our gratitude for all the work that goes on behind the scenes doing the admin and training prep, fundraising, chaperoning cadets on duty plus the all important party planning!! How Lorna and Deborah keep coming up with more games we will never know!
Many of our volunteers stay on and attend the adult meetings also on Tuesdays and provide even more hours providing medical cover at events as well as keeping up with all their own training. There wouldn’t be a cadet unit in Larne without their commitment and for that we are immensely grateful. 🤩

This young lady pulled a fast one on us last week announcing at the END of the night that this would be her last meeting before she turns eighteen. She thought she would get away with it but we couldn’t let her go without saying a proper goodbye 👋🏻

It’s been lovely having Aimee as a cadet for the last couple of years and we hope to continue to see her always smiling face as a member of the adult unit. She will be a credit to them.

We know she will have a blast during her work experience month in Italy, (we aren’t jealous at all 🤥).

Wishing Aimee all the best and a happy birthday for Wednesday. 🎂

Larne Cadets managed to catch the last of the rugby season at Kingspan Stadium by helping to provide first aid cover for the thousands of spectators.

Special mention of thanks to Kel, Hannah and Alison for making the journey to ensure our cadets could get to experience an Ulster rugby duty.

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating from the Youth Team at St John Ambulance NI

Unit manager Rachel dropped off Easter baskets for the staff and residents of Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary. Our cadets had a craft night making Easter themed decoration’s to put into the baskets along with generously donated snacks, treats and toys for the cats and dogs being looked after at the sanctuary. We also made sure to include some human treats too.

We hope everyone human and furry have a great Easter! 🐣
