🐝 1 Match, and 2 Goals: A Day in the Life of St John Dacorum Network at Watford FC! 💛🖤
Ever wondered what our volunteers get up to during a matchday shift? Today, our team from the St John Dacorum Network were out in full force at Vicarage Road Stadium! We were delighted to work alongside our fantastic colleagues from the St John Ambulance South West Herts Network to keep fans safe for the Watford F.C. clash against Charlton Athletic! 🤝🚑
From checking our medical kits and setting up first aid posts before kickoff, to keeping a watchful eye over the stands, our dedicated first aiders were there every step of the way.
Check out this short video to see exactly how our combined teams spent their matchday duty! 👇📹
We are incredibly proud of all the volunteers who give up their weekends to support the community and the EFL Championship. It was a fantastic day all around, capped off with a 2–0 victory for the Hornets! 🎉

❤️ St John Ambulance Dacorum at the Bovingdon Villagers’ Annual Event with Bovingdon Villager ❤️
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to see St John Ambulance Dacorum Unit at the Bovingdon Villagers’ Annual Event!
🚑 We were delighted to engage with 29 members of the public, helping them learn and build confidence in essential lifesaving skills.
Our team covered three important areas of first aid:
❤️ CPR – knowing what to do when someone’s heart stops.
🩸 Major Bleeds – learning how to respond to serious bleeding.
🫁 Choking – understanding how to help someone who is choking.
These are vital skills that could one day make the difference between life and death. By sharing our knowledge with the local community, we hope to give more people the confidence to act when someone needs help.
A huge thank you to the Bovingdon villagers for welcoming us and to everyone who took the time to stop, learn and get involved. 💚
First aid saves lives, and you could be the difference!
Keep an eye on our social media to find out where you can meet the team next.
Thanks also to Storage Right for allowing us to use their parking spaces

Our Save A Life September campaign continued over the weekend just gone, with the local branch of U3A.

U3A is a volunteer-run cooperative movement that brings retired and semi-retired people together to learn, share skills, and enjoy activities for fun.

A defibrillator can increase survival rates from cardiac arrest by up to 70%. Just think about that for a moment.

A vandalised defibrillator could cost a life. This could be anyone - a friend, a family member or even a complete stranger. Now think about that for a moment.

As a community, we should never tolerate this kind of mindless behaviour.

💔Why do people vandalise lifesaving equipment? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

💔This cabinet is less than 6 months old since we installed it and now we need to completely replace it at a cost of £650. Vital funds we could be using to provide and maintain more lifesaving equipment across Hertfordshire.

💔 The cabinet protects our public access defibrillators and bleed control kits from the weather. It also glows so it can be seen in the dark.

💔 We are Hertfordshire’s volunteer run and paramedic led lifesaving charity.

❤️ Why? Every Heart Matters
