Concert Celebrates 70 years of volunteering

 

Local volunteers and performers celebrate 70 years of St John Ambulance in Cannock.

A concert celebrating 70 years of the Cannock Division of St John Ambulance, is being staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre in Cannock on Sunday 3 April. Volunteer members from the charity will be appearing on stage alongside performers from local singing and dance groups. 

Wendy Hayward, the Divisional Superintendent at Cannock said:

'The concert is sure to be very entertaining and everyone in invited to come along and treat themselves, or someone special, to an evening of song and dance.'

St John Ambulance Cannock Quad Division is an active and popular volunteer organisation for both young people and adults from the local area. The division also includes a Badger Sett, which welcomes children from five – 10 years old. The members help provide trained and equipped volunteers at events across the area, helping people receive crucial first aid when they need it.

Although the monies raised will help with training and equipment the concert is one of celebration. 

'Over the years our division has helped hundreds if not thousands of people gain new skills, build confidence and self esteem and learn first aid so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved,' said Hayward.

Tickets for the fundraising concert, which starts at 7pm, are priced at just £6.50 and available from the theatre or by calling Wendy on 01543 675599.
