18 Mar 2020
It’s a serious time, but we’re all in it together. We know there will be some disappointment that follows events being cancelled and postponed, which is why we would like to tell you about our #TogetherWe campaign.
Over the next month or so, we will be sharing the love and bringing positivity to your timelines with updates from our crew on the frontline, a self-care and advice blog from our Deputy Medical Director Pam, as well as some stories of exceptional kindness and inspiration. We will also be hosting virtual events (get your running shoes ready!!), virtual quizzes, virtual book club, first aid lives and lots more activities which everyone is welcome to get involved with.
Only The Brave: We have made the decision to postpone Only The Brave 2020 until further notice. The rescheduled date for this event is Sunday 18 October.
