How awesome to see the second of our St John People Awards ceremonies happen so fabulously in North Wales. Amazing to honour and recognise our people in such a great way.
We’re set up and ready for the North Wales 2025 Award Ceremony, recognising, honouring and thanking all our amazing @SJACymru people.

Recognising our people’s commitment and contributions really is a passion of mine so I was really proud to see the first of three St John People Awards evenings come together so brilliantly. The next is in North Wales tomorrow! How exciting!

So incredibly proud of team Mid and West at a fabulous People Awards ceremony.
A volunteer who has dedicated 60 years to St John Ambulance Cymru was among those recognised at the charity’s 2025 Mid and West Wales Regional Awards. Click the link to learn more & see the full list of award recipients. Congratulations! Llongyfarchiadau! https://t.co/PpM7ShDqnS

Some clinical time with awesome volunteers at Swansea’s Gerallt Davies Help Point. Great to see everyone, share some learning and be there just in case. There were volunteers last night from Powys, Dyfed and Mid Glamorgan alongside West Glamorgan colleagues. Great to see.

A very busy two days to include SLT and safeguarding meetings, representing St John with Jane to external funding partners and then joining @SJACDyfedCounty at their fireworks display in Carmarthen. A really fulfilling 48 hours.

Great to be part of the last Commissioners forum under @SJACChiefVol Richie’s leadership. I find we often get our best work done when we come together in person. The back drop of rural Wales definitely helps too.

Awesome to see the reintroduction of SJA Cymru into Brecon widening our reach in Powys. This means more people will be able to access lifesaving training. We have an awesome team of volunteers at the forefront of this initiative.
The official launch of the Brecon Division of @SJACymru this evening. Great support from High Sheriff, Mayor, Scouts, Fire Service, British Army and so many of our amazing volunteers. If you live in the Brecon area and are interested in joining, please contact us.. 🙏👍

As it’s #WorldFirstAidDay we thought we’d share a #SaveALifeSeptember story. Listen to Janice’s cardiac arrest story. Thankfully her husband was first aid trained and saved her life. Ten years later, she’s still volunteering with us as one of our dedicated #PoblStJohnPeople!

So proud of our team of St John people providing care and support to the people of Powys led by this awesome bunch of paramedics and nurses for the week. Their skill and leadership has been invaluable and it’s been so great to be a part of it.
