Our Vision is for communities that save lives and serve each other through volunteering for health and first aid. Our mission will be to build volunteering for health into every community, providing first and second response and resilience every day.
At St John Ambulance we believe everyone should get the chance to learn how to save a life, so that whenever a first aid emergency occurs, whether in the home, workplace or community, someone is on hand with the skills to help.
Every year, 400,000 people learn first aid through our training programmes, including hundreds of thousands of young people. Our volunteers provide first aid in their communities, keeping people safe at events, and working alongside the NHS in response to 999 calls. We generate around £100m per annum which we reinvest in delivering and campaigning for better access to first aid for everyone. By doing this, we can give people the chance to learn basic first aid skills that they wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity to learn.
First aid is such a simple skill, but it has an incredible impact.
We want everyone to learn it, so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.
We can all be the difference between a life saved and a life lost. Take a look at what our people do.
