Listen to our Just in Case: Stories from St John podcast
A powerful series that shines a light on real lives saved and the volunteers, medics and first aiders behind those moments.
How can you listen to our podcast?
Hosted by the charity’s Partnership and Relationship Manager, Sam Cook, the podcast offers an honest look at what happens when someone suddenly needs urgent help and how first aid can make all the difference. From heart-stopping rescues to inspiring personal journeys, each episode tells a true story of lives changed forever.
The debut episode featured Chris Edwards, a runner who collapsed just metres from the finish line of the Porthcawl 10K after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest. Thanks to the fast actions of St John Ambulance Cymru volunteers, including CPR and the use of a defibrillator, Chris survived. His story is a powerful reminder of the charity’s lifesaving impact.
Future episodes will include interviews with dedicated volunteers, many of whom have remarkable stories of their own about how and why they got involved with the charity. The podcast will also feature conversations with individuals and organisations who champion the importance of learning first aid, aiming to inspire more people across Wales to gain vital lifesaving skills.
