Donate this Christmas to support our lifesaving Responders

Whilst many of us celebrate the joy of the festive season, it’s easy to forget those critical moments when everything can change. Our lifesaving Community Responders stand ready to act, just in case a life is at risk.

Will you help our Community Responders this Christmas?

At St John Ambulance Cymru, our volunteer Community Responders are trained to step in when every second counts, delivering immediate, lifesaving care before an ambulance arrives. Across Wales, these local heroes make a difference every day—especially in rural communities where ambulance response times can be longer. Your support can help ensure they are always ready to save a life.

Meet Sam – A Community Responder who helped save a life in Pembrokeshire

When Sam was called to assist a patient with shortness of breath, his quick thinking changed the outcome. The patient exhibited signs of sepsis, a life-threatening condition that could have easily gone unnoticed. Thanks to Sam’s swift intervention, the patient was taken to hospital in time to receive urgent care—and they recovered and returned home.

This is just one example of how our responders are making a life-changing impact in communities across Wales.

Your donation can help save lives.

We want all communities across Wales to have St John Ambulance Cymru Community Responders, equipped with the skills and tools needed to be there in critical moments. This Christmas, your generosity can help us train more volunteers and provide them with the essential resources they need.

Donate today to make a difference:

• £30 could support enhanced training of volunteers, ensuring more areas have responders ready to act in emergencies.
• £50 could equip a responder team with first aid supplies, empowering them to reach and treat those in need.
• £100 could fund vehicle repair costs, helping responders reach people in need of urgent assistance.

Why Your Support Matters

Every day, Community Responders like Sam are making a difference. Your donation helps bring us closer to ensuring that no matter where or when an emergency occurs, help is always nearby—just in case.
