Look out, St John Ambulance are about
1 September 2016
We save lives all year round, but September is always an extra
special month for us.
This year we’re heading out to city squares, shopping centres,
libraries, parks and anywhere we might find people like you –
and we’re teaching lifesaving skills.
We know that first aid is the difference between a life lost and
a life saved, so we’re holding free demonstrations across the
country that will give you the knowledge and confidence to act in
an emergency. Whether it’s Nan choking on her roast dinner, or your
neighbour getting carried away with the garden sheers, the few
minutes you spend with one of our trainers could be vital to saving
someone’s life.
“Just one in 10 people have the skills to save a life and we’re
determined to change this”
Find your nearest free first aid demonstration this month and
walk away knowing that you could be the difference between a life
lost and a life saved.

How else can I save a life?
First aid is a simple skill with an incredible impact and
everybody should get the opportunity to learn it. Watch our first
aid videos and learn some vital skills.
If you have an Android or iPhone, you can download our first aid
advice app that give easy to follow advice on a range of first aid
scenarios.
Nothing can replace doing one of our training courses and we
have thousands across the country to choose from.
Every year, too many people die in situations where first aid
could have given them a chance to live. If you have a first aid
story, you can help us to raise awareness of the importance of
these lifesaving skills.
