England’s first aid charity
St John Ambulance is the charity putting the power of first aid into everybody's hands, so we're all closer to help in an emergency. Every person. Every place. Every time. We educate and equip people to feel confident to act in a health crisis, while our volunteers and staff are there to help in communities, at events and alongside other emergency services.
If you believe in the power of first aid, join us.

Are you looking for our courses and supplies services?
We've moved our first aid courses and supplies to a new website to improve your experience. Don't worry, you can still book and order everything you need from our full range. Visit the St John Ambulance shop.
Gifts in Wills
An amazing 30% of our charitable funding comes from legacy gifts. When someone leaves a gift to us in their Will, they help us move towards our vision of a world where everyone is confident, ready, and able to respond whenever first aid is needed - saving more lives.
Restart a Heart Day
Each year on the 16 October, Restart a Heart Day gives you and everyone in your workplace, home, or school the opportunity to learn or refresh this life-saving skill.
