Join us
St John Ambulance
members are volunteers. There are many advantages to
volunteering with us including gaining new lifesaving skills,
making new friends and
personal enjoyment and fulfilment. Not to
mention the cups of tea/coffee and biscuits every week!
At Wellington adult division our main
activity is providing frist aid and
ambulance aid at public events, we also do a lot
of training and social
activities. Whilst we always provide a professional
service we aim to have lots of fun in all we do.
St John is a really rewarding organisation to be in because it gives you a chance to meet lots of people, to get out into the community and to learn not just about first aid but other subjects too! The members are all really friendly and we have lots of fun on meeting nights!

Training
Most weeks our members undertake
training, often in first aid, as well as using their first aid
skills at public duties. This means that our members become very
confident at first aid, giving them the skills needed to
save lives and the confidence
to act in an emergency.
Our members recieve continuous
training and their skills are always up to date
with the latest protocols.
In Wellington we have a good group who
get on very well and have fun together. We're hoping to continue
welcoming new members so that we can increase
our activities in the local community, in our division and around
Somerset.
We have members with different
qualifications, from basic first aid to
emergency ambulance attendants. Some of our
members are also trained to drive ambulances.
Every volunteer is free to work
towards as many or as few qualificaions as they wish. All members
are fully supported to help them achieve the level
that they wish.
Please feel free to visit any adult
meeting to see what we do and if it may be for you.
