Ian, you were a truly inspirational leader and mentor. You touched so many lives and that will be evident in the sheer number of people that will be in attendance today. Colonel, your watch is over, thank you for your service 💚

Today we have multiple volunteers out supporting Southend SJA with @SJA_Rochford SJA Grays at Southend United FC providing extensive cover to all! Darren Bartholomew will be missed from today’s game! If you need assistance, speak to your nearest steward #MySJADay #StJohnAmbulance #SJAPeople

Tonight Stephen (one of our Techs) is running an ECG & Lifepak 15 awareness session! Good for members to understand what our ambulance crews & HCPs do and what some of the ‘squiggly lines’ mean! #CPD #MySJADay #TeamSJA #SJAPeople #Team999
