The areas that I find of most interested to my purpose of an informative and recruitment interview is the voice of the younger cadets in the division, trying to see why they think St John ambulance is a good organisation to join. I will be also getting in contact with Officers and Youth leaders of Highgate division to hear why they think cadets should join the organisation. Also giving small bits of information about the history and future of 'SJA'.
Background history of St John: http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/about-us/our-history.aspx'St John 'Ambulance is the UK’s leading provider of first aid training. As a charity, our volunteers provide vital first aid cover for the public ‒ at national events like the London Marathon, and locally at football matches and village fêtes. St John Ambulance is also a youth organisation: more than half of our 23,000 volunteers are under 25.'
-'Our proud heritage goes all the way back to 11th century Jerusalem, where the first Knights of St John set up a hospital to care for sick pilgrims.'
-'Each year we appoint a County Cadet of the Year, and they attend a residential weekend event, where a National Cadet of the Year is chosen. You can take part in camps and adventure activities.'
-'The Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem originated in a hospice founded around 1070 to care for pilgrims. The brothers and sisters of the Hospital, which was recognized as a religious Order by the Pope in 1113, nursed the poor and sick of any faith. The brothers also took on the role of defending Christians. When Jerusalem was lost in 1187, they established their headquarters in Acre on the coast of Palestine, before moving to Cyprus and then in 1309 to Rhodes. In 1530 they were given Malta, which they governed until they were expelled by Napoleon in 1798.'
- St Johns ambulance was founded in 1922, and has grown to one of the biggest youth organisations in the united kingdom.
- 127 years of first aid delivery
