Lifesavers at work 2026

Meet our winners - Celebrating those making a difference through first aid training

A group

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.

Children and young people

Join the next generation of lifesavers! Our youth programmes teach 5-25 year olds real life skills within a fun, supportive community.

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.

Be Ready for an emergency with first aid supplies

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them. The UK Government's Be Ready campaign encourages households to prepare for emergencies and the disruption they cause.
