Light Up Green

On the evening of 24 June, more than 100 well-known buildings and landmarks all over the country were lit up in green in support of national healthcare and first aid charity, St John Ambulance. 24 June is St John’s Day, a focal point of the charity’s annual calendar of activity, when the team of volunteers and staff reflect on the past 12 months and plan for future work in communities around the country. Due to COVID-19, St John Ambulance has had to mark St John’s Day in different ways from usual, and the ‘Light it Green’ initiative is one way that the country was asked to take part on the day. At the same time, the work of the charity and its volunteers is also being highlighted through a new campaign, ‘Ask Me’, which focuses on many stories that tell of the lives saved and positively changed by first aid and St John Ambulance.
Lancing College was delighted to be able to support the charity as it continues to work on the NHS vaccination programme, respond to the pandemic, and starts returning to event duties and providing first aid training.
