HOPE Trustees Lisa O’Brien & Andrea Ryan spent yesterday evening at the Third Sector Awards shortlist party.

Connecting with other nominees and hearing about their work was fascinating.

We're looking forward to the award event next month where we have been nominated in the Small Charity of the Year Category!!

I've just realised that while today is cool (currently), tomorrow will be rough (27 degrees) - and monday hideous (30 ) due to my . For me, the more I attempt when it's too hot, the longer it takes me to recover. So if I'm able to hibernate, I have a rough time during the heatwave - but return to 'my normal' fairly quickly afterwards. If I push myself it can take days - even weeks to get back to my normal.

This means I've just done some re-planning.

I'll be doing more today, so that I can have 2 days where I can hibernate (and probably watch lots of olympics) to reduce the impact of the heat. And because I'll be hibernating for a couple of days, I will also have the muscle-recovery time that should mean, if I get the balance right, there's a good chance that once it cools down again I'll have recovered from the busy day, and will quickly recover from the heat.
(Also, sometimes I feel silly about how often I check the weather forecast. Now I feel justified that it is actually very important information that has a big impact on my decisions, and enables me to manage my health as well as possible. A strangely validating moment)

This can happen in temperatures most people find comfortable. It is not life threatening, just inconvenient. If needed, please help me to somewhere cooler (e.g. outside, near an open window, or fetch an ice bucket or handy snowstorm.) Normal service will resume once I cool down.

You are not a burden,
you are not a waste of space;
there is only one of you
and nobody can ever take your place.

‘I was always so proud of my mum, she saves people’s lives.’

This International Paramedic’s Day, hear how Jasmine was inspired by her mum Michelle to join her crew and become a paramedic herself!

Michelle joined the ambulance service in 2009, and despite telling her daughter how tough the job can be, Jasmine knew she didn’t want to do anything else.

Now, they work together as crewmates at West Midlands Ambulance Service.

‘It’s such a rewarding feeling to know that you’ve made a difference, and that people are alive today because of us. And I know I’ve always got the support of my mum and my team’.

Happy International Paramedics Day to both Jasmine and Michelle, and all our paramedics today!

Becoming a paramedic is just one of the 350 rewarding roles available in the NHS. Find your role in the ambulance service at https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/ambulance-service-team/roles-ambulance-service
