Nothing is more tragic than a life lost needlessly. Yet every year, too many people die in situations where first aid could have given them the chance to live.
St John Ambulance teaches people first aid so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.
As the nation’s leading first aid charity, we teach more people first aid than any other organisation. Each year, more than half a million people complete a St John Ambulance training course, either through their workplace or in the community. We teach life saving skills to young people in schools and through our youth programmes, and equip members of the public with information that can save lives.
Our volunteers provide first aid assistance at public events, pre-hospital clinical care, and emergency ambulance support to the statutory services in times of crisis.
We also campaign to raise awareness of the importance of first aid, equip the public with first aid information, and encourage everyone to join us in our cause.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
