Scottish CoordinatorSmokey Paws Ltd Nov 2015 - Sep 2024Scotland, United KingdomI became involved with the not for profit organisation through my friend Ron Ewing; he brought the organisation to my attention in 2015 and asked if I would support him in making the kits available to all the fire stations in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS).Over the next 3 years I coordinated all the SFRS side of this partnership, producing guidance to crews and Smokey Paws Ltd. Ron's passion for this work was infectious and never ending and just prior to his passing in 2018 we had over 240 kits in stations across all parts of Scotland. These donations made possible through the kindness and generosity of individuals, groups, charities and businesses who donated/ raised the funds to pay for the kits.Another charity close to my heart Boxer Welfare Scotland also came on board and supplied 50 of these life saving kits to stations.After Ron's death I took on the role as Smokey Paws representative in Scotland and continue in that role even past retiring from the fire service in 2020.I am very proud of what has been achieved over a relatively short period of time. In March 2020 we held a national recognition event hosted by Martin Blunden, the Chief Officer of Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. At that event a number of people who were donating kits, along with the Smokey Paws Ltd founders and fire service personnel celebrated the fact we had placed 453 kits into stations.There are 3 stations awaiting kits and these will be arranged following support from a vet practice in Fort William. -
VolunteerAnthony Nolan Nov 2009 - Sep 2024Scotland, United KingdomI have been actively involved in the partnership between Strathclyde Fire & Rescue and since 2013 Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. Whilst still in the fire service I was the West Service Delivery Area Vice Chair and took great pride in supporting and developing the partnership across several Local Authority Areas, mentoring the local SFRS Partnership leads and generally being there as part of the journey.This partnership has had huge positive impacts across Scotland and further afield. We have educated thousands of young people across Scotland and then helped recruit potential lifesavers onto the Anthony Nolan Donor Register.Being part of this partnership will be a lifetime commitment and since retiring in 2020 I have continued to be a volunteer albeit now out of uniform and proudly wearing my partnership branded t-shirt instead.There are many highlights in my 26 year fire service career, but one of the greatest was being in London in November 2019 with Ally Boyle (the power behind the partnership) and Andy Watt (Chair of Partnership) where we shared in an inspirational evening and the SFRS won the Shirley Nolan Award for special recognition. So proud to be there representing the best team ever. -
