NIAS volunteers drive cancer and kidney dialysis patients
Kindness, compassion and a free car ride goes a long way when you're undergoing hospital treatment for health issues, such as terminal cancer or kidney patients rely on the goodwill of strangers, many of whom become volunteer drivers for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) are among the lesser known roles that keep the health service ticking along - and they do it all for free."It is vital to the running of NIAS," said Yvonne McMichael from NIAS."They go above and beyond on the daily." More than 75 people, from across Northern Ireland, give up their time - and cars - as part of NIAS's Voluntary Car them is Willie Hutchinson whose three children have all had kidney their transplants, they underwent dialysis - a procedure which removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working."They used the car service quite a lot to get to the renal units," the former lorry driver told BBC News him, volunteering is his way of "pay back"."Somebody did it for them so I'm doing it for somebody else," he said. In 2023, the grandfather of six was awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to Hutchinson's nominee was a patient he brought to and from hospital appointments for a number of years."The day that I got the award, I had brought him home – he wasn't well – and I took him into the house and he more or less fell into the chair," he said."I told his wife to ring for the doctor."He died that afternoon so he never found out that I'd got the award after all the work he had done to put me forward for it."It was a bit sad and bittersweet that he didn't know I'd got it but his family were thrilled to bits for me." 'Not just transport' The volunteer drivers are not employed, or paid, by NIAS, and only receive a mileage allowance for transporting patients - in their own cars - to and from hospital voluntary service saves NIAS money as it is significantly cheaper - and uses less resources - than taxis or Nicholl, a former mayor of Mid and East Antrim, has been on dialysis for almost seven years and relies on the service."I can tell you from experience that volunteer drivers are not just transport but they're part of the caring system," he said."These volunteer drivers give of their time freely. It's not just a lift to them, they have compassion, they bring calmness at a time when a patient like me needs that." With ambulances in high demand staff and resources stretched, Yvonne McMichael, who oversees the volunteer car service, says the work the volunteers do is "top tier"."With the capacity levels that we have at the minute, we do not have enough ambulances to provide the service to everyone who needs to get," she said."They cover Northern Ireland, providing service to seven renal units and also transferring patients to the two cancer centres at Belfast City Hospital and Altnagelvin, as well as taking patients to other appointments." Before becoming a volunteer driver, Martin Garrity had worked in an office for 35 years."I wanted a wee change," he said."I was chatting to a friend of mine who was doing voluntary driving at the time and he suggested to me I try it and 15 years on, I'm still here."For him, the best thing about it is the people he has met."When you have your patients maybe three times a week, you build up a friendship with them and their families and they're so appreciative," he said."You get close to them and they confide in you about certain things. Sometimes there's bad news and it's sad, it's tough."So will he still be volunteering in another 15 years?"I hope so," he said."The reward you get is worth it and I'd say the other drivers would say the same."

Eleventh night bonfire lit on asbestos site criticised - as firefighters face 'challenging' conditions
Firefighters in Northern Ireland faced a "challenging" night as multiple bonfires were lit ahead of 12 July celebrations, including at one site that contains asbestos. Bonfires at an estimated 300 locations across the region were lit on Thursday and Friday night ahead of the Orange Order's 12 July parades on Saturday. Most were lit peacefully, but the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) said it dealt with 72 bonfire-related incidents and received 277 emergency calls on Friday - known as the Eleventh night - and into Saturday morning. "This resulted in our firefighters attending 194 operational incidents, 72 of which were bonfire related. Peak activity was between 10pm and 1am," NIFRS area commander Andy Burns said. "During this period, the number of emergency calls received increased by 154% when compared to 2024. "It was a challenging and extremely busy night for NIFRS with an increase in demand for our regional control centre and emergency response." Bonfire lighting at asbestos sight 'very disappointing' One bonfire in particular, at Meridi Street, off the Donegall Road in south Belfast, was lit despite warnings, political rows and legal challenges throughout the week. Stormont Environment Minister Andrew Muir urged earlier on Friday that the bonfire at the site, which contains asbestos and is close to an electricity sub-station, which powers two major hospitals in the city, not be lit. However, it was lit as planned late on Friday to mark the 334th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne where the Protestant King William of Orange triumphed over the Catholic King James II. Mr Muir said on Saturday morning he was "very disappointed" with the decision to go ahead and light the bonfire. Why is asbestos dangerous? Asbestos is the name given to several naturally occurring minerals that have crystallised to form fibres. When materials or ground that contains asbestos is disturbed or damaged, fibres are released into the air. If these fibres are inhaled it can cause serious diseases including cancer. When asbestos is set alight, visible fragments can be carried in the smoke plume and may be deposited on nearby properties, gardens and streets. Debris from a fire containing asbestos can also be dangerous to touch and or remove. He said the government will be working with partners to assess the impact the particular bonfire had, and work with the landowner to remove the asbestos pile safely. An environmental crime investigation into the incident has also been launched, Mr Muir said. "As I have already stated, a review must also be undertaken looking at lessons that can be learned involving all statutory partners," Mr Muir said on Saturday. Another bonfire nearby at Roden Street was topped with effigies of the Irish-language rap group Kneecap, as well as a sign written in the Irish language. The blaze in Eastvale Avenue in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, featured the group on a poster with the wording "Kill Your Local Kneecap", seemingly in response to a clip that emerged from a Kneecap concert in 2023, which appeared to show a member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." The group is known for their provocative lyrics and merchandise - and have been vocally opposed to Israel's military action in Gaza. There was also criticism from political and church leaders after an effigy of migrants in a boat was burned on a bonfire in Moygashel, Co Tyrone. A number of loyal order parades are planned to take place later on Saturday. Around 30 have been officially categorised as sensitive by the Parades Commission, meaning it has the potential to cause tensions within the community or raise concern. Locations of sensitive parades this year include Belfast, Coleraine, Keady, Dunloy, Rasharkin, Strabane, Newtownabbey, Maghera, Newtownbutler, Portadown, Glengormley and Bellaghy. As a result, more than 4,000 police officers and staff will be working on Saturday night.
