It cost around £100 to train at St John Ambulance volunteer in the skills they need to support the community. By taking on a green fundraiser this summer you can help make a difference!
We have thousands of clinically trained volunteers who play their part in alleviating distress and illness in their communities. Undertaking basic first aid training, our volunteer training team often follow this up with training in other specialist modules. For example, our clinical volunteers are now trained to use Public Access Trauma First Aid kits to increase survival rates following stabbings or other serious incidents. They are also on the streets at night in 35 city centres at Alcohol Reception Centres, giving first aid and creating a safer environment whilst people are out enjoying themselves
It costs around £100 to train each St John volunteer who will go on to support or care for 12 people during their time of need. For every £7.60* you fundraise, you will change someones life. So by raising £100 you can help so many people!
*£7.60 is the cost of our volunteer plus the 12 people they will at minimum support in one year
