The team is running in the 2024 Guernsey Marathon relay to help grow more of our own Health professionals and volunteers in Guernsey. It is widely acknowledged that a combination of post-pandemic and growing demographic challenges, continue to exert substantial operational and funding pressures on Health & Social Care in the Bailiwick. By “growing more of our own”, we can help reduce those pressures. Many current healthcare professionals and volunteers across the Bailiwick were first exposed to the Health & Social care sector and inspired to seek a career in healthcare, after participating in St John Youth Services as Badgers or Cadets.

The team is aiming to raise as much as possible to fund an upgrade and expansion of training in the St John Guernsey charity’s youth services, ensuring it is a valuable source of future healthcare professionals and life savers for the Bailiwick.

The St John Runners 2024 team consist of:

Deputy Al Brouard
