St John Ambulance (SJA) is the nations leading first aid charity.

They believe that anyone could be

the difference between a life lost and a life saved. As a result they are committed to training people of
all ages in first aid.
As an organisation they provide a wide range of training and services nationwide. These
include providing first aid cover at national and local events. As well as this they support
the emergency services with Community First Responders. These volunteers can, where
needed, get on scene before an ambulance or RRV and help with the basic preservation
of life. Alongside this they provide life saving skills training to workplaces, schools and
colleges and are currently trying to get first aid on the national curriculum.
Volunteers form the base of SJA and people of all ages can be apart. There are various
roles adults can help with including, but are not limited to:
First Aid cover
Logistics
Youth Leadership
PR and fund-raising
Human resources
Safeguarding
Health and Safety
