How do we spend your donations?

St John Ambulance is a not-for-profit organisation, meaning any profit we make goes straight back into the charity.
In 2024, we invested X into our mission of putting the power of first aid in everybody’s hands. Whether it’s through setting up a new volunteer unit or promoting free first aid advice in one of our campaigns, we're determined to build communities where every single person is first aid confident.
