We believe that it’s absolutely unacceptable that so many people die needlessly – because no one could give them first aid when they needed it.

St John Ambulance teaches people first aid – about 800,000 last year alone – so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.

• We teach young people in schools and through our activities for young people
  
• We teach people in the workplace and provide first aid products
  
• We teach people in the community.

And we teach people who become our volunteers; who offer their skills and time to be the difference right in the heart of their community – at public events, as first responders or providing back up to local ambulance services. 

As a charity, we’re committed to making sure more people can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. To do that, we need your help.
