We have supported people and communities across Wales since 1880. We
existed before the NHS in Wales and provided the earliest medical support to
those who were sick or injured.
Since March 2020, weve worked closely with NHS Wales, increasing our capacity and
developing new innovative ways of working to assist and relieve the
overwhelming pressure on the frontline healthcare. We are first responders and
provide services for people who have fallen and those in crisis. We look after
hundreds of thousands of people at over 1000 events per year from football
crowds to marathon runners and night time revellers.
We continue to play a major role in strengthening community resilience
and ensuring people are trained in first aid so they can be the difference
between a life lost and a life saved with a blend of St John People, both
employees and volunteers.
We provide the opportunity for people from all backgrounds to volunteer
with us and develop their personal skills and confidence to support our
charitable and income generating services whilst assisting their own career
development and their community.
Were undergoing an extensive and exciting programme
of modernisation preparing for our new 2025-2030 and beyond strategy. This
includes a review of our existing services, financial and workforce models and
were developing a rejuvenated culture aligned to our core vision and values to
improve our overall people experience.
