City of York Council is celebrating St John’s Day by encouraging residents to show their support for St John Ambulance tomorrow.

As part of this effort, the city’s walls will be lit green on Wednesday evening.

St John Ambulance staff and volunteers have spent over 100,000 hours supporting the COVID-19 crisis response since the beginning of April, its biggest mobilisation of volunteers since the second World War.

To get involved, residents and businesses are encouraged to show their support by displaying lights, flags or banners in their windows and gardens.
