The Badgers of Old Oscott

Lord Mayor's Blog 41
The St John Ambulance youth group the Badgers, based in Great Barr, held an awards ceremony recently to recognise the hard work of its young members in the past year.
I was delighted to be invited to the ceremony and to give out awards at All Saints Church in Shady Lane. Eleven of the group’s twenty young members received certificates, with one member receiving the most prestigious award, the Super Badger.
The picture shows myself with two volunteers and of course, the somewhat mischievous Bertie Badger.
The St John Ambulance do great work at public events throughout the year and their youth groups are well worth joining. Old Oscott Badgers have made great strides recently and they have some very interesting plans in store for the near future.
