CCCU Paramedic Society

TEAM CCCU PARA SOC TAKES ON THE LONDON LANDMARKS HALF MARATHON 🏃‍♀️🚑✨

This year, Poppy, Jess and Amelia are taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon!

Each of us is running for a cause that means something deeply personal to us as student paramedics:

🚁 Jess is fundraising for KSS Air Ambulance, supporting the life-saving service covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
🧠 Amelia is running for Rethink Mental Illness, championing better support for those struggling with mental health.
🚑 Poppy is supporting London’s Air Ambulance, helping fund the amazing service provided by London Air Ambulance.

During our training we’ve seen first-hand how vital these services are . If you’re able to support, donate, or simply cheer us on , we would be very grateful! 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️✨🚑

💚Our upcoming events for the semester! 💚

We have have an exciting line up of events and training sessions to support your learning and development.

Make sure not to miss out on these amazing opportunities to build your knowledge and connect with experts.
