On 24th June St John Ambulance celebrates St John’s Day. Traditionally we would celebrate the day together, but since 2020, as with most celebrations we have had to mark the occasion virtually.
2022 is a special year for St John Ambulance as we are celebrating 100 years of youth work, and the day is an opportunity to say thank you to our volunteers who continue to save lives.
One of the ways we do this is by asking building across England to Light up Green to show their support. In 2020 we had just over 40 buildings and in 2021 we had just under 150 take part and light up green! Type in #StJohnsDay2021 in to Twitter to see pictures from the day.
In 2022 we want to go even bigger. 2022 is a big year for St John Ambulance and we want to make sure we take every opportunity to show out volunteers how much we appreciate the work they do!
Ask me why we lit up Green
