A Glasgow charity received a generous boost to buy vital equipment.
The group of volunteers handle assault injuries, medical emergencies, such as heart attacks and overdoses, and minor injuries.
Based in Union Street, the organisation patrols the city centre, helping people in need of medical attention.Head of service at Glasgow Street Aid, John Barclay, said:"From January to June we’ve done 694 jobs, which is just crazy to be honest.“That’s just by us being able to see them, assess them, give them advice, clean their wounds, whatever it may be.”
The money will buy team radios for communication, medical kits, volunteer uniforms, medical consumables and diagnostic equipment. Rebecca, Glasgow Street Aid volunteer, said: “We cannot thank the trust enough for the grant. It really will help us out.” One of the first things they bought with the gift was a monitor to check and record patients’ vital signs in a form that is easily transferable to hospital equipment.
