Good to be at @SJACymru @SJACRadyr division on Tuesday evening where members of the local community came together to learn how to save a life, including the importance of early CPR, defibrillation, and how to use a defibrillator, as part of #Defibruary

A day of training today @SJACymru for Event Responder course. Thanks to Cameron & Phil for delivering an excellent day of training with great engagement. Nice to see #StJohnPeople from across Cardiff & Vale County & our @SJACLogistics team who are busy preparing @NewportHalf.

Early start for many #StJohnPeople for the @NewportHalf. Congratulations to all who took part. @SJACymru were there #JustInCase. Some of the team just before the event started enjoying a cuppa with our Chair @Griffindares who also popped in to say 👋. A good morning well spent.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As we mark the end of the blessed month of Ramadan, my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating, #EidMubarak عيد مبارك. Eid al-Fitr is an occasion for celebrating the completion of Ramadan. We welcome the days of Eid, a time of gratitude, reflection and togetherness shared by millions across the world. It is a moment to pause, to give thanks for the strength to fast, to pray and to reconnect with what truly matters. Yet this Eid, like many before it, is marked by the weight of another unjust war and the suffering of so many. As we gather with family and friends, our thoughts and prayers remain with all those facing hardship, loss and uncertainty, regardless of faith or ethnicity. Their pain is not distant from us, it is part of our shared humanity. And on this day of Eid al-Fitr, we are reminded not only to celebrate, but to remember. To remember those no longer with us, whose absence is felt more deeply on days like this. To remember those who cannot celebrate in peace. And to remember our responsibility to one another. Eid is not only about joy, it is about compassion, generosity and standing with those in need. Please hold on to hope. However heavy things may feel, change does come. The night may feel long and dark, but dawn always follows. “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful, blessed and meaningful Eid al-Fitr 🌙.
