Proud of our young people

As one of the country’s largest youth organisations, we at St John Ambulance are incredibly proud of our young people and their achievements.

In 2023 alone, 2,000 of our Badgers and Cadets (aged five-17) gave an astonishing 54,000 hours of their time over 12 months, covering events, training, teaching first aid and helping their communities. That works out to over six years of volunteering in just 12 months.

We want to continue helping our young volunteers thrive and would like your readers to consider volunteering, themselves, as part of the Youth Team.

They’ll be instrumental in helping the next generation of first aiders develop their skills and help save lives.

They can find out more and apply via our website at www.sja.org.uk/youthteam.

We have opportunities all over the country and they don’t need any previous first aid experience.

Readers can also help us with a donation. A generous gift of £15 could help us cover the cost of one first aid lesson, enabling St John to empower young people with essential life saving skills.

And a gift of £50 today could contribute to training a Youth Leader who could learn how to equip hundreds of young people with crucial first aid knowledge and leadership skills that last a lifetime. have realised that they would be given to young people. Surely they should have known they would be thrown away. Surely they should have known that they would end up in landfill and contaminate. It appears we pay them salaries for incompetence.
