FRONTLINER­S WHO NEVER STOP HELPING

-

AMBULANCE worker Hollie Dowling and firefighte­r Scott Pearson, right, put their lives on the line every day. But instead of going to bed after their gruelling shifts, they shop for vulnerable neighbours.

Hollie, 32, from Wookey Hole, Somerset, has supermarke­t shopping lists for five different vulnerable people.

She says: ‘Our neighbours are 92 and 87. Others suffer from Parkinson’s and other health issues so it’s right we help them.’ Hollie, who works as an emergency care assistant at South West Ambulance Service, says she and her boyfriend are determined to do as much as they can to help the public.

Scott adds: ‘The other day, after finishing our night shifts, I went to deliver prescripti­ons while Hollie went to the supermarke­t and shopped for vulnerable people who can’t get out of their properties. We both want to help people as much as possible.’
