St John Ambulance is the charity that steps forward in the moments that matter to save lives and support communities. Its highly trained volunteers keep people safe at events nationwide, springing into action to help with medical incidents and emergencies. The organisation also helps the NHS by responding to some 999 calls, as well as transporting patients safely. And every year around 500,000 people, including children and young people, learn how to save a life through its first aid training. St John Ambulance has saved lives and relieved suffering for over 140 years, and – with the support of the public – will do so for decades to come. Together, we’re united by our goal of saving lives through essential first health services, first aid training and campaigning.
You might be suprised to hear...
Every year, more than 400,000 people learn how to save a life through our training programmes, including hundreds of thousands of young people.
They were set up before the NHS and have saved lives and delivered first aid for over 140 years. They are a constantly evolving team of over 1,500 employees and 18,000 volunteers. Their volunteers work at the heart of communities to keep people safe and deliver first aid in the moments that matter, whether it’s giving life-saving CPR or tying a sling for a sprained wrist.
The charity have youth programmes operating across England, enabling young people to learn first aid, build their confidence, and gain important life skills. For Badgers (ages 7-10) it's all about fun, adventure, and learning first aid. As a Cadet (ages 10-17) you'll get to meet new people, learn new skills, and build your confidence.
They can equip you with mental health first aid skills as well as physical!
