Community support

All of our core work is done for the benefit of communities nationwide and St John Ambulance is committed to using our commercial profit to further our charitable mission.

For instance, the Carer Support Programme provides advice and first aid training to the nation’s growing number of unpaid informal carers. Our Community First Responders are trained to attend emergency calls received by the ambulance service and to provide care until an ambulance arrives. The Peer to Peer Youth Volunteer Project is designed by young people, for young people, and aims to engage with hard to reach groups in four urban London boroughs, working with young people not currently in education, employment or training, ethnic minority groups and young carers.

We are constantly working with communities to determine their specific needs and develop our services accordingly.
