St John Ambulance is committed to ensuring that every

member of the public has a confident grasp of basic First Aid.

As the UK's leading First Aid authority, St. John Ambulance

trains over half a million people each year. Beginning early on

in schools and carrying right through to industry, it runs a

variety of courses for children, the general public, industry

and commerce. The courses are run in St. John Ambulance

training centres nationwide and range from two hours of

basic life-saving resuscitation and emergency aid techniques,

to more extensive First Aid at Work courses for industry,

approved by the Government's Health and Safety Executive.

Youth

With over half of its volunteers aged 5-25 years, St. John

Ambulance is a major youth organisation. The charity

provides the opportunity for young people to develop

personal and social skills through participation in a

structured programme of activities within the context of

First Aid and care.

The young volunteers in St. John Ambulance are members

of either the Badgers (aged 5-10 years) or Cadets (aged 11-

18 years). They learn First Aid, nursing, and other life and

social skills so that they may become responsible and

caring members of society. They have fun, make new

friends, and many will in time serve their community as

adult volunteers with St. John Ambulance.

Schools remain an integral part of the St. John Ambulance

mission. The Young Lifesaver Award Scheme takes First Aid

training into the classrooms of over 140,000 schoolchildren

each year. The scheme encourages teachers to incorporate

Emergency Aid into curriculum activities. St. John Ambulance

aims that every child should receive basic First Aid instruction

by the time they leave school.
