Grand draw winners announced!

The annual St John Ambulance Dorset grand draw took place this week and winners were chosen by Mrs Caroline Matthews, Sett Leader of Dorchester Badgers.

Over £2,000.00 has been raised by first aid volunteers and staff from around the county. This money will help to buy essential first aid equipment and provide training for the public and St John Ambulance volunteers who attend over 3,000 community and sports events each year.

‘Keeping our ambulances on the road, providing on-going training for our volunteers, organising heavily subsidised first aid training for community groups and buying first aid equipment is an expensive business,’ said Caroline Matthews. ‘We have a commitment to the community as well as our young Cadets and Badgers, to train as many people in first aid as we can’, she added. ‘Most people do not know what to do in a situation where first aid can make the difference between a life lost and one saved.’

‘We are indebted to the prize donors and the public for their generosity and support,’ Caroline added.

The first prize of tickets from Brittany Ferries was won by a woman in Christchurch.

Runners-up won vouchers to the Springfield Country Hotel, Go Ape and Goulds.
