🎉 Celebrating 🎉

Today is International Volunteer Day and we are shining a light on all of the fantastic from St John Ambulance Dacorum Network 💚

From First Aiders keeping communities safe to our Community Educators sharing their knowledge and skills to bring safety into the hands of the people in , we are so proud of the impact that our volunteers have on the people we serve.

We can’t forget our amazing youth volunteers helping to shape the next generation of lifesavers and the St John Ambulance young people themselves who give up their time to support the St John Ambulance mission of saving lives and supporting communities.

Thank you to all our volunteers and community supporters who make our work possible ⭐️

Massive congratulations to our very own Laura Anderson ! We're so proud of you!😊

🎉Congratualtions to Laura Anderson on her Hero Award! 🎉

Laura was at Chipperfield Clarendon Cricket Club, when a player collapsed on the pitch. Laura applied CPR and revived him. The defibrillator wasn’t working and whilst waiting for another, he had two more heart attacks. She continued with CPR until the paramedics and Air ambulance arrived. He was flown to Harefield Hospital, and medical staff there confirmed that it is due to her quick intervention that he has made a full recovery. There is little doubt that Laura saved a life that day.
