Joseph Ingoe

Cadet

Joseph Ingoe, Northumbria's Cadet of the Year, joined St John Ambulance the week after his tenth birthday - just over seven years ago.

Earlier on this year he was crowned deputy Cadet of the Year and says it's one of the proudest moments of his life.

'It was such an honour!' said Joseph. 'I have so many opportunities to meet new people and represent the organisation.'  

In Northumbria Joe is very busy indeed. He covers first aid duties at Newcastle United FC, concerts at the Carling academy, the great north run and also attends Cadet camp and social events throughout the year.

On top of this he has also arranged an autumn dinner dance with the aim of raising the profile of St John Ambulance youth. 

Currently studying for his A-levels, he hopes that first aid will be very much part of his life in the future. He plans to study medicine at university and join the local LINKS group and would love to travel and work in developing countries.
