Thank you to the volunteers for handing water out to @YorksAmbulance crews outside hospitals in #Leeds #Hull and #Wakefield yesterday. Great work.

These are unprecedented temperatures for the UK, and climate change means we expect more heatwaves to happen in the future. People often think of heatwaves as part of enjoying the summer, but they can be dangerous and must be taken seriously.

There is a red extreme heat warning in place for much of England today and tomorrow. 🌡 Heatwaves are on the rise because of climate change - here are some important things to remember to keep yourself and others safe during the #heatwave.

Great work

Thanks to @Tesco you can collect a @BritishRedCross wheelchair from the car park at the Clifton Extra store every Tuesday @Equipment_BRC #Blackpool
