We’re proud to be supporting the British Transplant Games in Oxford this weekend with first aid cover. Last night, we had the privilege of attending the Opening Ceremony, and it was nothing short of inspiring — a powerful celebration of resilience, and community. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible volunteers who are giving their time and energy to support this meaningful event. Your dedication helps create a welcoming and uplifting experience for all involved. To all the athletes and participants: we wish you the very best of luck in your events. Your stories and strength are a true inspiration. #BritishTransplantGames #Oxford2025 #VolunteeringMatters #CommunityImpact #Volunteers #AmbulanceVolunteers

About us
South Central Ambulance Charity raises funds to support South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust working across Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire as well as supporting our Patient Transport Services in Surrey and Sussex. All money raised by our charity is used to fund services, projects and equipment that is not supplied by Government NHS funding. The NHS only funds SCAS to make sure everyone has the basic tools they need to do their jobs. Without the money we raise people in our communities would have to wait longer for help which could affect their recovery. As a charity we have three key objectives: 1. To provide equipment, uniform and training for our volunteer Community First Responders All our Community First Responders (CFRs) are volunteers. CFRs assist the Ambulance Service by attending emergency calls in the areas where they live or work. As they are local, they can often reach a potentially life-threatening emergency in the first vital minutes before the ambulance crew can get to the scene. The NHS does not fund the ambulance service to provide this. With your help, we can give local communities the skills they need to help themselves, and each other, in a life-threatening emergency. 2. To build awareness of life-saving skills and defibrillators in our communities a little bit of knowledge goes a long way towards saving a life. 3. Supporting our Staff. Our ability to provide life-saving care is increasingly dependent on our faculty to make sure our staff have access to all the latest technology. Developing 999 care of the future means investing in research, development projects, introducing new ways of working and new equipment. We also support our frontline staff by investing in their working environment.

🔵 Thank You Thursday 🔵 We’d like to extend a sincere thank you to the Waterside Bar at GF Social Club and their incredible members, who have raised £850 in support of South Central Ambulance Charity. This generous donation was made following a recent incident where one of our Community First Responders (CFRs) provided emergency assistance to a member of their community. Their gratitude and kindness mean so much to us. Donations like this directly support our CFR programme, helping us train and equip volunteers to respond to 999 calls – often arriving within minutes to deliver lifesaving care before an ambulance arrives. Thank you, Waterside Bar and GF Social Club, for recognising the value of community-led emergency support and for helping us continue this vital work. #ThankYouThursday #SCACharity #CommunityFirstResponders #EmergencyCare #CharitySupport #MakingADifference#Gratitude #CommunitySupport #LinkedInCares #Banbury South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust

🤝 National Team Work Day 🤝 Today, we’re recognising the importance of teamwork — and the incredible volunteers who are such an essential part of the South Central Ambulance Charity and wider SCAS team. From Community First Responders to Patient Transport Drivers, Patient Panel, Fundraisers, and more – our volunteers not only support SCAS operations, they also form powerful teams of their own within our communities. Their ability to work together, support one another, and collaborate with staff and partners ensures patients receive compassionate care, fast responses, and vital reassurance during times of need. Thank you to every volunteer who gives their time, energy, and heart to help us deliver lifesaving services. Your teamwork truly makes a difference. #NationalTeamWorkDay #SCACharity #TeamSCAS #VolunteeringMatters #AmbulanceVolunteering #NHSVolunteers #MakingADifference
