SJA East region

#StJohnsDay2020 is coming to an end. We think this photo from @SJAEast shows the happiness and pride we feel when representing St John Ambulance - on St John's Day and every day of the year!

This #StJohnsDay photo is from 2018. The team usually hire a coach to bring them to London for the day, which is why there is always such a good line up for photos! @SJAEast

Throughout the day we'll be sharing photos from the @SJAEast St John's Day archive. This, from 2004, is Laura Ashby and Vera Freeman from Suffolk who were holders of the Defence Medal for their wartime service. #StJohnsDay2020

Happy #volunteersweek2020 to all our dedicated, passionate and brilliant volunteers in @SJAEast #stjohnpeople @stjohnambulance

Our #fundraisingtakeover this afternoon is a family effort, Natasja is virtually walking to the summit of Ben Nevis, her brother Patrick is dying his hair pink and dad Ken is dying his beard green! Ken has even agreed to wax his chest if they raise £1000! @stjohnambulance 👏🏃‍♀️

This morning’s #fundraisingtakeover is a plug for the @sjaeastregion’s #SJAdo5for5get5. Just walk, (or run, or cycle, or skip, whatever you want) 5K, donate £5, and then nominate 5 people to do the same. Easy! bit.ly/3c20H5U
