Radyr Division of St John Cymru Wales reopens

After a break of two years, St John Cymru Wales is proud to be able to announce that the Radyr Division is open once again and looking for volunteers.

Radyr Division has a long history of supporting the community and it’s especially exciting to see the division reopening exactly 95 years since the division was founded.

There are 4,000 St John Cymru Wales volunteers across Wales who provide first aid cover to a huge range of events every year and without them, many events like church fetes, fireworks displays, carnivals, rugby and football matches, athletics meets and even events as big as the Six Nations and Cardiff Half Marathon wouldn’t be able to take place. Last year, St John volunteers spent around 215,000 hours attending 4,500 events and treated almost 10,000 people for everything from cuts and bruises to delivering a baby.

St John will be holding an open day in Radyr Golf club on Saturday, 28th November from 10am until 4pm where volunteers from the division and the area will be on hand to talk to members of the community over a cup of tea and a biscuit about the work that St John volunteers do, what is involved in becoming a member and how you can help.

From January, St John will be running a regular training night on Tuesdays from 7pm until 9pm at the Old Church Rooms where new members are always welcome.
