26 July, 2021: The Countess of Wessex joins St John Ambulance as a volunteer in the NHS Vaccination Programme

Like many of our existing and long-standing volunteers, the Countess of Wessex has completed the required training to become a Care Volunteer in support of the NHS vaccination programme. We’re delighted to welcome the Countess, as the Grand President of St John Ambulance, to a growing team of over 10,000 volunteers who are now trained and being deployed to NHS vaccination centres all over England, in an extraordinary collective effort to beat the pandemic.

The Countess became Grand President of St John Ambulance in 2004 and heads up the work of St John’s County Presidents who provide a variety of support to their local St John volunteers.
