What a fabulous procession again at the #childrensparade2024 for Brighton Festival such amazing imagination has been put in to the creations for the Dream Again theme. This is one of my favourite St John Ambulance England duties that I do with SJA County of Sussex and some great volunteers. #mysjaday




Really proud to have been part of this joint Lloyds Banking Group / Mitie project delivering on #RestartAHeartDay the 1st of 24 HeartSine Defibrillators & Bleed kits through Aero Healthcare available to the Community 24/7 all and visible to the Ambulance Service on the British Heart Foundation The Circuit.


I have been waiting all year to see Dear Evan Hansen at the Theatre Royal Brighton and it was fantastic, the cast were amazing and the songs so powerful, the show was totally immersive. Can’t beat live theatre. #theatre #live #worththewait


Today I had the privilege of leading two SJA County of Sussex marches for the Royal British Legion Remembrance Sunday in Brighton & in Hove. Laying wreaths to remember those we have lost in conflict. #wewillremeberthem #RemebranceDay #stjohnpeople



Today I had the Honour of leading the Lloyds Banking Group Royal British Legion Remembrance Service at 25 Gresham Street. I read ‘For the Fallen’ a Poem by Laurence Binyon this was followed by the Exec laying wreaths, The Chairman, Group Exec Director, People and Places & Myself. #WeWillRememberThem


One of my favourite events of the year the SJA County of Sussex Cadet of the Year. This year we have the most cadets we have ever had. I am doing the presentations. The panel got to make playdo animals Dog (Tom) Snail (Sharon) and I did the duck #cadets #mysjaday #stjohnpeople





Great day today SJA County of Sussex Crawley Hub learning the new Community First Aider Role. I think I was picked on to be an old man being helped to stand in a way to reduce manual handling on the volunteer. #mysjaday #training #communityfirstaid





I so love this event and have been proud to support Burning the Clocks for so many years. The team is great Same Sky, the Council, Event Safety, Police and Select Security for this Brighton Spectacular. It really rounds off my volunteering year #mysjaday #CountyCommissioner #Sussex


Tonight I was interviewing for the Lead Cadet who will be the first cadet to take the role to the new Central Sussex and Ouse Valley network in SJA County of Sussex #cadet #mysjaday #youth


It was an amazing pleasure presenting SAMbulance™️ a certificate of commendation. He has supported me and Sussex at events for so many years he will be a missed staple of event deliver in Sussex. I wish him all the best on his new adventures down under. #mysjaday

I was not on duty but had the privilege to meet Myleene Klass MBE who came down to volunteer Brighton & Hove Pride she took time out to chat to me about St John Ambulance England & answered my question about ‘Why’ St John, as everyone has a different story. She was really part of the team #mysjaday
