Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all our St John Fathers who give so much of their time, to the fathers who stay home so their partners can volunteer, to the fathers of our cadets who support, encourage and taxi our cadets around. You’re all part of the St John Ambulance family and we hope you all have a great day.
PPE thanks to UHL Rapid Innovation Unit
Many thanks to the Rapid Innovation Unit in University Hospital Limerick for the donation of PPE to us in St John Ambulance. Our logistics teams from Dublin and Cork collected this vital equipment from our Limerick centre this week for distribution to all our divisions. This equipment is vital to protect our volunteers and patients during the current situation. Companies like this are providing incredible support to the frontline and their contribution is a vital part of the battle to fight this war.
