Thank you 💚
St John Ambulance volunteers selflessly give their time and skills to save lives and keep people safe.
Putting themselves in harms way to care for others. Waking up in the early hours to coordinate behind the scenes.

Why #volunteering must be an integral part of healthcare workforce planning.
@help_force calls on Govt to expand the healthcare ‘Volunteer to Career’ scheme as part of its upcoming #NHS 10-Year Health Plan – with the backing of leading health voices.

A lunch they'll remember forever.
A few of our Cadets were invited to the Downing Street party for #VEDay80. They had the opportunity to meet and celebrate our 1945 veterans, and today's service men and women.
A very special street party.
Today, we were honoured to host veterans of 1945 and the service men and women of today to celebrate #VEDay80.

St John Ambulance has joined with @ResusCouncilUK in writing to @bphillipsonMP to provide clear guidance and accessible resources to schools to support the delivery First aid on the Education Curriculum.
UK governments and local authorities pledged to make CPR part of the secondary school curriculum, but nearly 4 in 10 students say they haven’t received CPR training in school.

St John is proud to join @SeaCadetsUK @scouts @Girlguiding in calling for 35 hours of volunteering leave to reverse the decline in volunteer numbers & empower our communities.
This proposal will enable volunteers to step forward and deploy at times of crisis.

A powerful interview from Naomi Rees-Issitt 👏
Across the UK, there is a mismatch between where a defibrillator is placed and where a defibrillator is most needed.
Our recent report stresses that your ethnicity, where you work or live should not determine whether you’re more or less likely to survive a cardiac arrest: resus.org.uk/every-second-co…
Three years after her son died, Naomi Rees-Issitt is calling for all police cars to carry a defibrillator.
Naomi tells ＠susannareid100 and ＠edballs how the police were the first on the scene after Jamie went into cardiac arrest, but they didn't have a defibrillator.
The family believe that CPR just minutes earlier could have saved him.

Thanks to you over 100,000 defibrillators are now registered with The Circuit!
But the work isn't over just yet - tens of thousands of defibrillators remain unregistered.
Make a difference and register your defib today.

A terrific milestone worthy of celebrating.
Huge thanks go to our partners @TheBHF, @ResusCouncilUK, @NHSEngland, @stjohnambulance and the many unseen supporters who have made this happen.
Learn more - and register your #defib - at thecircuit.uk/
100,000 defibrillators have now officially been registered on #TheCircuitUK!
Thanks to the work and dedication of defib guardians across the UK, more defibs are visible to ambulance services, allowing more lives to be saved.
If you are the guardian of a public access defib, make sure it's registered: thecircuit.uk/

Our @NCVO research found volunteering can massively benefit happiness and wellbeing and is good for employers, good for employees, and good for society.
We’re backing @DwayneFields call for more employers to allow volunteering leave.

There are over 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK every year.
Fewer than one in 10 people survive - but you can help change those odds 🙌
