Become a volunteer

We know you’ll want to make a real difference when you volunteer, but it’s not just about what you can do for us or your community, our volunteers can get a lot out of the experience too. You’ll get to have a first-hand perspective of a wide range of experiences by volunteering with the first aid charity for Wales.

Youth programmes

Our programmes are about more than first aid. They’re about friendships, leadership, and using your time to make a real impact in your community. Whatever path you choose, you’ll be supported every step of the way by trained volunteers and fellow members.
