Ambulance volunteer numbers spiral

VOLUNTEER numbers have doubled at the ambulance service. 

More than 50 people contacted the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust to become first responders during National Volunteer Week last week. 

Spokesman Lorna Hayes said: "It was a fantastic week for us as our volunteers work extremely hard to get out into the communities that they serve.There are still areas in the region that we would like more volunteers so if you can spare any time at all I would encourage you to please contact us."
