Youth programmes at St John Ambulance

Our youth programmes operate across England, enabling young people to learn first aid, build their confidence, and gain important life skills.

At Badgers, it's all about fun, adventure, and learning first aid.

As a Cadet, you'll have an exciting journey ahead of you. You'll get to meet new people, learn new skills, and build your confidence.

Inspiring 14-18 year olds from marginalised backgrounds to pursue a career in healthcare.

Our Badger and Cadet uniforms are modern, functional, and instil a real sense of pride and unity among our young people.

If you're aged 14 to 24 and fancy an exciting new challenge, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award could be for you.
