St John Ambulance Cymru has won £500 worth of materials from Selco Builders Warehouse through its newly-launched Community Heroes campaign.
Throughout its Community Heroes campaign, Selco will be awarding two £500 prizes each month with all 12 winners entered into the final public vote for the £5,000 jackpot, or the £1,000 runner-up prize.
The scheme is open to any charity or group which is at the heart of its local community and entries can be made by explaining in 100 words how the organisation would use the building materials or money to benefit them.
James Cordell, support manager at St John Ambulance Cymru, said: “We’re delighted to win these building materials through Community Heroes.
“Our committed volunteers are on the frontline throughout Wales, working with the NHS, Welsh Ambulance other partner agencies. Not only that, but we are also training local groups, schools and businesses in life-saving first aid.
“Winning Selco Community Heroes will help us modernise our facilities for our volunteers and the public at our training centres.”
Carine Jessamine, marketing director at Selco, commented: “We’re delighted to support St John Ambulance Cymru as one of our first winners of this year’s Community Heroes contest. St John Ambulance Cymru is so important in providing first aid at so many events across the country.
