An inspirational Harrow teenager has won the title of London Cadet of the Year for the nation’s leading first aid charity.
Niraj Doshi, 17, from Hatch End, earned the honour after competing in the gruelling three-day St John Ambulance Cadet of the Year competition held at the Gilwell Park Scout Camp in North East London (1-3 April).
During the competition, 34 of the best St John Ambulance Cadets from across the country were assessed on their life saving first aid skills, teamwork, initiative under pressure, organisation, presentation and leadership skills.
This latest triumph for Niraj follows his success in being named Lord Mayor’s Cadet of the Year in November 2015.
Both roles involve promoting the charity’s mission to get more people learning vital life saving skills. Niraj is also an ambassador for St John Ambulance’s extensive youth programme designed to help young people from all walks of life realise their full potential.
He will be representing London St John Ambulance at many high profile events in London over the coming months including The National Service of Remembrance at The Cenotaph and a royal reception at Buckingham Palace.
