THIS autumn, St John Ambulance’s Save A Life September campaign is aiming to equip 50,000 people in England with essential first aid skills via public demonstrations, online resources and free first aid pocket guides in a push to fill communities around the country with potential lifesavers. 

Come to one of our free first aid events where, in response to public demand, our highly-trained volunteers will teach you how to help someone who is choking, experiencing a severe bleed or suffering a cardiac arrest. By joining us at one of these events, you could become a future lifesaver.   Our website will list your nearest demonstrations, but check back regularly as new events will be added.

You can also order our free first aid pocket guide, or access online advice now on the featured techniques to ensure you’re prepared to step up in an emergency. Accidents and life-threatening incidents are more common than we think so do this for your family, friends, colleagues and community.
