SUMMARY:St John Ambulance (Youth Programme - Aged 5-11)
DESCRIPTION:Being a Badger\nBadgers are the youngest St John people\, aged under 11. Anyone can join a Badger Sett\, which operate across England. Badgers usually meet once a week for around 1 hour 30 minutes. \nBadgers take part in a wide range of fun activities based on essential first aid and other fascinating topics\, earning badges and certificates for each one. For every three subjects a Badger completes\, they receive an award until they achieve their Super Badger Award. \nTo give each new Badger the best possible introduction\, Welcome Badger provides a range of activities to ensure all new Badgers and their parents/carers are provided with all the essentials in the first few important weeks. \nOur Badger programme covers a wide range of subjects and activities\, from first aid to communication skills\, to healthy living and being safe. All the subjects have been written by St John people with the aim of Badgers in mind and to support children through their learning and development journey. \nBadgers can: \n\nlearn first aid\nmake new friends\nget creative with arts and crafts\nfind out how the body works and how to stay healthy\nlearn about helping their local community\ntake part in team games\ndevelop leadership and communication skills\, and much more!

SUMMARY:St Pauls Ward Councillor Monthly Surgery
DESCRIPTION:A councillor’s primary role is to represent their ward or division and the people who live in it. Councillors provide a bridge between the community and the council. As well as being an advocate for local residents and signposting them to the right people at the council\, you will need to keep them informed about the issues that affect them. \nIn order to understand and represent local views and priorities\, they need to build strong relationships and encourage local people to make their views known and engage with them and the Council. Good communication and engagement are central to being an effective councillor. \n\n\n\nTo do this they have regular contact with the general public through either Council meetings\, telephone calls or surgeries. Surgeries provide an opportunity for any ward resident to go and talk their councillor face to face and these take place on a regular basis. \nYour Councillor will discuss any concerns or problems relating to Council services and listen to your views on issues that you feel are important. \nCouncillors are not paid a salary for their work\, but they do receive allowances. By law\, all members of the Council are required to complete a Declaration of Interest form\, the details of which are published annually. \nYour Local Ward Councillors for St Pauls\n\nCouncillor Aqeela Choudhry\nParty: Labour Party \n\nEmail: aqeela_choudhry@sandwell.gov.uk \n  \n\n\n\nCouncillor Charn Singh Padda \n\n\nParty: Labour and Co-Operative Party \n\nEmail: charnsingh_padda@sandwell.gov.uk \n  \n\n\nCouncillor Abid Hussain \n\n\n\nParty: Labour and Co-Operative Party \nEmail: abid1_hussain@sandwell.gov.uk
