‘I am an asset to society and am giving back to my community in the best way possible’

'I feel proud of myself because I know that not many people would do the same thing'

'What do I learn from young people? It’s the shared sense of achievement'

'Holding the hand of a patient as they died when their family couldn’t be with them is something I will never ever forget.'

'I can give back to the community the same way that St John has given to me'
