St John Ambulance

St John Ambulance is England's leading first aid charity, with a history stretching back over 140 years and a mission built around putting the power of first aid in everybody's hands. Operating as a registered charity and powered by thousands of volunteers, the organisation delivers certified workplace training to hundreds of thousands of companies, local authorities, schools, and community groups every year, with all income from training and first aid supplies reinvested directly into its charitable work.

The training portfolio covers first aid at all levels, mental health first aid, fire marshal training, moving and handling, and health and safety risk assessments, delivered across more than 200 specialist training venues throughout England. A growing range of blended and online courses gives learners greater flexibility in how they study and qualify, while a dedicated team of specialist instructors ensures consistently high-quality delivery across every course type.

Beyond training, St John Ambulance provides event medical cover at over 20,000 events annually, including Premier League football matches and major public gatherings, alongside specialist ambulance services for the NHS covering neonatal, paediatric, and adult care. Youth programmes including Badgers, Cadets, and Young Responders engage thousands of young people in first aid skills and community service each year.

For businesses choosing St John Ambulance as a training provider, the distinctive benefit is the direct link between course fees and charitable purpose, making every booking a contribution to a wider mission of saving lives and building safer communities across England.
