Volunteers’ Week 2026 💚

To mark Volunteers’ Week, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on some of our incredible volunteers who were nominated for this year’s Newton Award. Each day, we will be sharing the story behind a nomination to celebrate the dedication, compassion and impact our volunteers bring to their communities 👏🏼

In the spotlight today is ….🤩⬇️

Well done Fiona! 🤩👏🏼

It was fantastic to see so many of our volunteers and colleagues at SCAS yesterday, with a number of our volunteers nominated for the Newton Award - a brilliant recognition of their outstanding contribution to the chain of survival and their dedication to improving outcomes from out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) 🤩

Hearing about all the incredible work and achievements across Scotland, the UK, and even across the pond was truly inspiring 👏🏼
