Nominations open for first British national awards

St John Ambulance is on the lookout for champion first-aiders in the Isle of Man.

The organisation's first ever award ceremony covering the entire British Isles takes place in the autumn.

It will celebrate individuals, businesses and communities that are leading the way in first aid, and the Manx branch is looking for nominees.

Finalists will be invited to an awards dinner near Hyde Park in London at the end of November.

Local director of training and marketing John Gill says nominees don't have to be part of the charity (listen to audio file below):

Nominations can be made via sja.org.uk, before August 26.
