Cumberland and Westmoreland Photo
Thank you to the people who turned out today for the photograph with the ambulance, which will appear in the Herald this weekend.
As people have already pointed out, the short notice (first facebook post two days ago, reminder this morning), people working, self-isolating, etc. meant that numbers were never going to be high.
News has only just broken about the devastating plans that NWAS has for Alston Moor's ambulance and it's crew so thanks to our local reporter for picking up on it so quickly. He offered to send a photographer at short notice and we have to work around when is convenient for them and their deadlines. There are sure to be several follow-up articles on this very important issue and we will have more time to plan. At this stage it's vital to get the message out as quickly as possible.
We're already getting media enquiries and interest from many people, so well done to all involved so far. Considering we have a marketing / advertising budget of ZERO then we've got off to a very good start. If you have any ideas for raising the profile of our campaign and / or any skills you think will help, then please get in touch on here.
