A great day in Powys with @MikeFrancis102. We began with a meeting with Deputy Commissioner Julie before visiting Powys’ newest Division in Brecon. Brilliant to meet some new volunteers and take part in scenario practice with the team.

The #PoblStJohnPeople from our Logistics Team recently came together from across Wales for a residential weekend to improve existing capabilities & learn new skills, supported by @stjohnambulance counterparts, who popped over the border to share their expertise. Thanks! Diolch!

Sarah’s Act, which applies in England and Wales, helps protect anyone giving CPR in good faith, including to women, by reassuring those offering lifesaving support.  If you need more information on how to perform CPR on an adult, visit our website: sjacymru.org.uk/en/page/cpr

On #InternationalWomensDay, we want to raise awareness of this issue & encourage people to act quickly in an emergency, which is why we've invested in more female CPR manakins to help people on our training courses & our #PoblStJohnPeople feel comfortable acting in an emergency

Did you know that recent research found that almost a third of people (32.8%) of people in the UK would feel worried about giving CPR to a woman due to fears of accidentally touching their chest or breast area, or being accused on inappropriate touching? #InternationalWomensDay

Did you know that women account for at least 50% of our: -Board of Trustees -Executive Leadership Team -Senior Leadership Team #IWD #IWD2026 #InternationalWomensDay #DiwrnodRhyngwladolyMenywod

On #InternationalWomensDay we say a huge thank you to all the women who are working to make Wales a community of lifesavers as #PoblStJohnPeople, from volunteers in the first aid room to Trustees in the boardroom. Diolch o galon! #IWD #IWD2026 #DiwrnodRhyngwladolyMenywod

Great to visit @first_milk in Haverfordwest to discuss ongoing improvements to emergency preparedness at the site. James Cordell, our Dyfed Deputy Commissioner, set up new defibrillators, discussed the site's new 1st aid room & talked about future partnership opportunities.

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.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Got 15 minutes to spare this #StDavidsDay? That’s all it takes to make Welsh cakes & enough time to learn the key steps of CPR, a skill that could help save a life. Click the link for our CPR guide: sjacymru.org.uk/en/page/cpr #DyddGwylDewi #DoTheLittleThings #GwnewchYPethauBychain
