In the lead-up to National Volunteer Week join us for an afternoon tea with Dr Allan Mawdsley, from St John Ambulance Historical Society, as we launch the latest exhibition at Williamstown Library: Back from the Dead.

From early equipment to the latest technology, see firsthand the progress that has been made in bringing people Back from the Dead through resuscitation and defibrillation.

The launch will include a special presentation on the contribution of St John Ambulance to the local community from as early as 1883 including the tragic West Gate Bridge collapse where St John had 100 volunteers on the ground within an hour. We will also be treated to a virtual tour of St John Museum which covers history going back to the Crusades!

The exhibition is curated by the St John Ambulance Historical Society and is one not to be missed.

The exhibition will run from Tuesday 9 May until Tuesday 25 July.
