How they support: First Aid Services

St John Ambulance is the first on the scene a lot of the time during times of crisis and emergency, saving more lives than can be counted. Their efforts don’t stop there, though, as communities rely on them to, through the form of a Community First Responder. They play a vital role in providing life-saving first aid in those vital minutes before an ambulance arrives. On top of that, you can expect to see trained volunteers across the thousands of events within the U.K., ready to give first-aid, whether it be at a major sporting event or a county affair. Wherever you are in the U.K., the St John Ambulance volunteers are there when we need them to be.
