Volunteering for us
As the
leading first aid charity, St John Ambulance
relies on the work of dedicated volunteers to provide first aid
treatment and training throughout the country.
With more than 45,000 volunteers, over
half of which are under 25, St John Ambulance is able to treat
550 casualties per day, or 200,000 per year.
All without government funding.
Each year St John Ambulance volunteers
donate 4 million voluntary hours to
ensure the public’s safety and enjoyment at events.
Volunteering with St John Ambulance is special. As an organisation it can offer so many opportunities in so many different areas, and you really do get a lot in return, I can’t see my self not being a member as I’ll always be able to give back something in return for all I have gained.

Senior County Staff Officer St John Ambulance Leicestershire
In addition to providing first aid services, St John Ambulance
volunteers are also involved in transporting patients to
appointments, providing respite care to the elderly and working
with youth on personal development.
Our volunteers are people who dedicate one hour or one lifetime
to providing first aid to those who need it.

'Working with Young people is still my main role within St John
Ambulance, and it’s where I gain most of my enjoyment. I can
definitely say that it’s my passion to see young people develop and
achieve, and I’m privileged to be part of that process.'
Marion Smailes, Folkstone Division,

'As well as being a caring organisation, St John Ambulance is
very helpful in the community. Fifty years later I still enjoy the
companionship and helping other people.'

'I really like playing at badgers and doing lots of fun stuff. I
have told all my friends about it. I like doing first aid and
learning things.'
