We’d love to share some positive news with you in light of the current situation we all find ourselves in💞
We’ve teamed up with our good friends at St. John Cymru Wales, Monmouth Division, who were in need of updating their station. We’ve donated and installed secondary glazing to help improve their facilities and the energy rating of the property.
Such fantastic work done by all the volunteers at St Johns - we are grateful to you, keep up the brilliant work 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
A big, BIG thank you to everyone who came along to our Flood Thank You & Fundraising concert on Saturday night.
We had a blast listening to and singing with the amazing Rock Choir Monmouth, Chepstow, Newport and Abergavenny.
And thanks to your generosity on the night, we raised just shy of £3,000 for the Mayor of Monmouth's Flood Relief Fund!
A massive thank you also to the following organisations who helped make the evening possible at short notice:
St Mary's Priory Church, Monmouth
Monmouth Lions
Mind Monmouthshire
St. John Cymru Wales, Monmouth Division
As well as the countless individuals who gave their time and energy to the cause!
Thank you again and stay safe.

Dear colleagues,
I am delighted to announce the appointment of the new Chief Executive for St. John Cymru – Wales.
Julia Hobbs will be joining us from Glyndwr Women’s Aid, where she has held the role of Chief Executive for over 4 years. Prior to this, Julia was the Managing Director of her own consultancy service, working to achieve corporate impact for the NHS and Third sector. With an MSc in Medicine, Julia has also held senior positions in other charities, such as Diabetes UK and The Stroke Association.
Julia said: "I am very happy to accept the position of Chief Executive. In St John Cymru - Wales, I see an organisation that delivers high standards in the sectors I know best and I look forward to having the opportunity to instil my commitment and energy with staff, volunteers and partners alike."
Julia will take up this position on 2 January, 2018. There will be a short period of transition from Keith, before he takes up his new role as Secretary General, St. John Cymru – Wales.
I look forward to welcoming Julia to St John Cymru - Wales in the New Year. In the meantime, please continue to give your support to Keith as he leads the charity through to the end of the year.

Prior for Wales
