TOODYAY St John Ambulance Sub-Centre members heard of Charlie Wroth’s sacking via an after-hours email.
No reason was given and we remain uninformed.
Charlie and all other sub-centre chairpersons have been directed to remain silent, leaving Charlie open to scrutiny and personal defamation.

Ironically, in April this year, Charlie received one of the highest accolades from St John for his outstanding service to St John and community.
I applaud Charlie and his family who have sacrificed much in the name of St John.
Our sub-centre thrived under Charlie’s leadership.
At the time of his sacking Charlie held the chair and was a sub-centre training facilitator, driver trainer, mentor, first responder, first aider and cross-community-organisation link – an unsurpassed contribution.
St John management must reconsider their treatment of volunteers who are shrugged off when issues are raised.
We have no external association to take our concerns to.
They care little about volunteers, except to ensure we minimise their spending on paid paramedics in regional areas.
Despite St John management’s attitude, please be reassured our local Toodyay ambulance volunteers will continue to provide an uninterrupted, compassionate service for those needing an ambulance –because we do care.
