Cadets: aged from 10 – 16 years old. Ambulance Corps: or senior members who

range in age from 16 – 60+. Both these groups are extremely active all year round. Our Cadets meet on Friday's from 7- 8:30pm where they learn first aid, communications, basic nursing skills and fun & games. They also attend events within the region and nationally throughout the year. Locally you will see the unit providing Emergency Ambulance and First Aid cover at local Football, Rugby, Boxing, Corporate events and many more, We also do Community Care duties which we call CARE (Care and Respect for the Elderly) where we bring guests from the locality to 11am mass in St Muredachs Cathedral each Sunday.

Our members were delighted to provide ambulance cover this evening for the Hollister Annual 5K Fun Run in support of three fantastic local charities: Teach an Uisce, Network Bloom and Sunflower Hospice.

It was a brilliant community event, with a great atmosphere from start to finish, and it was wonderful to see so many people coming together to support such worthy causes. A really enjoyable evening was had by all!

We were also delighted to hear from guest speaker Dave Fitz, VHI Ambassador, whose words added to what was a fantastic evening celebrating community spirit and supporting local charities.

A huge well done to Hollister for once again giving back to the local community and supporting these deserving charities. Your continued commitment to making a positive difference is truly commendable.

A huge thank you to all our members who covered the Mayo homecoming at Ballina Stephenites GAA yesterday. With around 15,000 spectators, your teamwork was outstanding. Special thanks to the Castlebar Unit for providing a second ambulance and crew, and to Dr Martha Collins, Dr Lisa Cunningham Guthrie, and Dr Sean Moffat for their assistance. From Ballina we travelled on to Crossmolina and then Belmullet, with crowds lining the roads in every village. Thanks to the Gardaí for arranging an es**rt from Bellacorick to Belmullet so we could attend to a patient quickly. A busy day, but thankfully nothing too serious.
Well done to everyone involved.

❤️ Thank You from the Bottom of Our Hearts 🤍

This weekend reminded us just how incredible our community is.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our cadets on their journey to the All-Ireland Competition, whether through our ‘Wear Red Day’, our annual bag pack, or by cheering us on along the way. Your generosity gave our cadets the opportunity to train, travel, compete, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

And what a weekend it was! Our cadets returned home with 4 All-Ireland titles, 1 All-Ireland runner-up, and so many proud moments.

To every cadet who represented the Ballina Cadet Unit, you should be immensely proud. Your dedication, teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship were an inspiration. Medals are only part of the story; the friendships, confidence, and experiences gained are the real victories.

A special thank you to:
🏫 Moyne College
🏫 Jesus & Mary Secondary School, Gortnor Abbey

🇲🇽 Our Leader Team means business this weekend… or do they? 🌵🌮

As you can clearly see, our leadership team is taking their responsibilities very seriously this weekend… every important decision is being made with sombreros firmly in place and moustaches that command respect! 😎🌮

We’re bringing teamwork, laughter, and just a little bit of fiesta spirit to camp. The only thing we’re missing is a mariachi band… although we’re pretty sure someone has already volunteered! 🎺😂

Nacho average leadership team! 🌮🤣

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! 🇲🇽🎉
