What regular donations can achieve
Donating regularly helps us plan for the future knowing there’s a steady supply of money coming in.
For instance:
£10 a month could help new volunteers to respond to emergencies through vital training and support.
£20 a month could help towards paying for a defibrillator to use for cardiac emergencies.
£40 could replenish some of the kit and equipment used by our staff and volunteers every day.
Donating to St John Ambulance
Did you know that St John Ambulance is the charity that steps forward in the moments that matter to save lives and keep communities safe. In addition to the first aid courses we provide and provisions we supply, we also rely on generous cash donations from the public to enable us to provide our services. Without you and our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to count on our first responders, ambulance operations, or the first aid cover that can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.
So how do we use one-off donations to save lives?
£25 could help train young people so they’re confident and competent enough to step up in an emergency situation.
£50 helps us kit out our volunteers with the equipment needed to treat sick and injured people.
£100 helps us invest and support our logistics and communications operators so we can respond quickly in emergencies.
£250 and more enables us to invest in our vehicles, volunteer workforce, and supports the future of our work.
A regular payment can help us achieve so much more.
