Three Cadets from St John Ambulance Berkshire received high praise from HRH Princess Royal when they recently visited Buckingham Palace. 

Grand Prior Award

Chloe Parker, 16, Thomas Eeles, 18 and Tejal Bhatt 18, received the Grand Prior Award for at least three years of sustained effort in 24 different subjects including communications and working in the community. Each area includes a range of activities, such as games, project work, role-plays and debates.

We are very proud of our Cadets and their achievements. It is a real honour to meet Her Royal Highness and one that our Cadets undoubtedly deserve

Sharon Johson
Commissioner Youth, St John Berkshire

During their time with St John the cadets have taken part in many activities and also qualified as first aiders, allowing them to attend public events across the County. Thomas was also part of a group of cadets who were selected to be first aiders at the Commenwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006.

Approximately 120 Cadets from across the country were invited to the Palace to represent St John. Grand Prior Award winners from each county were invited and Cadets were nominated by the county Principal Youth Officer  for their outstanding hard work and dedication.

Sharon Johnson, Commissioner Youth for St John Ambulance Berkshire commented: 'We are very proud of our cadets and their achievements. It is a real honour to meet Her Royal Highness and one that our Cadets undoubtedly deserve for all their hard work'.
