We are excited to announce that St John Ambulance NSW’s history book, The Premier Response, has landed at our Macquarie Headquarters! This book captures the rich history of St John in NSW, showcasing the dedication, service, and impact of our volunteers over the decades.
About the Book
- The Premier Response explores the evolution of St John Ambulance in NSW, from its earliest days to its role today as a trusted provider of first aid and community services.
- The book highlights the remarkable stories of volunteers, both past and present, and the lifesaving work that has shaped communities across the state.
- With detailed accounts, archival photographs, and insights from key figures, the book provides a unique window into the organisation’s history, achievements, and challenges.
A special thank you to those who helped package the first batch of orders: author Dr Matthew Glozier, former St John volunteers Paul and Catherine Barber, and our littlest helper Medhinee (staff member, Kalpana’s daughter!) Their efforts ensured the books were prepared for delivery to the supporters and members who bought a copy.
We can’t wait for everyone to receive their orders and discover the remarkable journey of St John NSW. This book will also be sold at the upcoming Annual Awards Ceremony. Purchase your own copy for pick-up or delivery today!
