Platinum Jubilee Medal Presentations
We were delighted to be visited by Deputy Lord Lieutenant North Yorkshire, Mr Andrew Pindar OBE DL and his wife Caroline, yesterday evening at the Dalby Forest – Forestry England visitor centre.
Met by Chair, Jon and representatives of the Incident controllers, Andrew and Caroline were with us to present the Queens Platinum Jubilee medal to eligible team members.
Thirty team members received medals as a result of a minimum of five continuous years operational service to the team. A further three team members also qualified through their time with the team and had previously received their medals from their employer, Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, in recognition of their dedication to that Service.
The cumulative total of this is some 415 years of voluntary service to our local community.
As #volunteerweek2022 ends this is fitting recognition of the professional operational service our voluntary charity provides, however without the dedication of our support membership, our less experienced operational team members and our trainees we could not do what we do.
It was also right on the evening to recognise the understanding and support of our families, friends and employers and the financial support to the charity from our local community and businesses.
This award is for all of you.
We would also like to thank the team members from Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team who stood in for us during the evening and who picked up a quick job from North Yorkshire Police on our behalf.
