A man has given up his time to help others after seeing the pressure on the ambulance service during the covid pandemic.
Andrew Kayley retired from his civil service job and this year decided to 'give something back' and help other people. Earlier this year, the 57-year-old became a volunteer car driver for the North West Ambulance Service, taking patients to and from appointments.
During the course of the pandemic, pressure and demand on our ambulance service and NHS quickly spiralled, but Andrew said a service like this not only helps reduce that demand, but is also flexible and rewarding. He said it is "very satisfying" giving up his time knowing he is "taking the worry away" for someone else.
