St John Ambulance is the nation’s leading first aid charity. We are St John Ambulance, Kent and lead the provision of our national charity in the County of Kent. Nationally, every year, more than 400,000 people learn how to save a life through our training programmes, including hundreds of thousands of young people. Our volunteers provide first aid in their communities, keeping people safe at events, and working alongside the NHS in response to 999 calls. We’re also always campaigning to raise awareness of first aid and directly educate the public. First aid is such a simple skill, but it has an incredible impact. We want everyone to learn it, so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. Our vision Everyone who needs it should receive first aid from those around them. No one should suffer for the lack of trained first aiders. Our mission is to:
