St John Ambulance is a major volunteer-led health and first aid charity that provides medical services and education. Dating back to the 11th Century it is best known in the UK as an auxiliary service that supports the NHS.
The Glovers is proud to be involved with The St John Ambulance 467 Barnet Cadet unit, which is for young people between the ages of 10 - 17. Our history goes back many years to when the founder of the Cadet unit was a former Master Glover. We have pleasure in supporting them by supplying training aids,books and laptops and attending their annual presentation events.
The Cadet unit typically meets once a week in the evening during school term time, where Cadets engage in fun and exciting opportunities, covering various topics and activities, which equip young people with essential skills like first aid, communication, teamwork, and leadership, fostering confidence, resilience, and critical thinking.
Within the Cadet programme, Cadets can work towards their Grand Prior’s Award by completing 16 subjects. These subjects range from emergency planning, to patient care, leadership & teamwork, healthy relationships, and adventure skills – just to name a few! When all the aims and objectives within the subject are completed, it counts toward their Grand Prior’s Award Total. Throughout the year, Cadet units run award ceremonies in their units to celebrate each Cadet’s achievements.
