Our Story
After nearly 80 years as part of St John Ambulance, the Isle of Sheppey St John Ambulance Band has proudly become an independent organisation — the Isle of Sheppey Band. This new chapter allows us to open our doors to all children and young people across Sheppey, offering free, inclusive opportunities to learn music, drill, and teamwork within a supportive, intergenerational environment. Our band brings together members aged from childhood to over 90, fostering strong relationships, mentorship, and community pride. Based in one of Kent’s most geographically isolated and economically challenged areas, we provide a creative outlet and a sense of belonging through music and performance. We continue to represent Sheppey at parades and engagements across Kent and the UK, and host regular rehearsals, concerts, and community events. Through our growing social media presence and youth outreach, we’re ensuring this proud tradition not only continues but thrives — celebrating Sheppey’s identity, heritage, and future.
