💚 WHAT. A. NIGHT! 💚

An incredible 93 people joined us to celebrate everything that makes our North Devon & Torridge Community Network so special!

A total of 17 presentations were made throughout the evening, recognising achievements right across our St John family, including two Community Network Leader Certificates of Commendation for exceptional acts of kindness, commitment and dedication.

But one post simply isn’t enough...

🚑 St John Ambulance at the North Devon Festival of Transport! 🚑

It was great to be at the North Devon Festival of Transport in Victoria Park, supporting the event with both community engagement and first aid cover.

Our team enjoyed meeting members of the community, chatting about first aid, sharing useful advice, and helping people learn more about the work of St John Ambulance. 💚

Alongside the engagement activities, our volunteers were on hand throughout the event to provide first aid support and help keep everyone safe while they enjoyed a fantastic day of transport, entertainment and community spirit.

A big thank you to the organisers, volunteers and everyone who stopped by to say hello! 👋

Always there. Always ready. 🚑💚
