Heart of Gold Annual Appeal 2021

The benefits of having street collections is to raise the profile of St John in the community. It is also a great way to
connect with our Operations Staff and Youth.
It is also a good idea to have a few brochures on hand of the other services within St John i.e. Health Shuttle,
First Aid training, Youth etc.
