20 Jun Shropshire Army Cadet Force SI receives National Praiseworthy Certificate

What Army Cadet Force(ACF) adult volunteers do to train cadets and what ACF cadets achieve is remarkable.
One of the core subjects they are taught is First Aid and they are sometimes called upon to deal with a real life emergency.

The Army Cadet Charitable Trust UK (ACCT UK) recognises their actions by awarding a National Praisworty Action Certificate.

SI Ben Readings of Shropshire ACF together with others sprang into action and worked as a team when they went to the aid of a little girl who suffered a seizure at a carnival.

Mum said “I wanted to say a huge thank you and commend you all for your help yesterday. The speed with which the cadets all attended the scene was fantastic and the help you all gave to clear a path for my husband to get our little girl to the ambulance was amazing. We can’t thank you all enough for giving us assistance and privacy at such a worrying time”.

SI Readings is seen here, being presented with his National Praiseworthy Certificate by Mrs Anna Turner, Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire.
