Volunteering

We’re always looking for friendly volunteers to join our team. Whatever you’re looking for, we have a volunteering role ideal for you

Volunteering with St John Ambulance Cymru is about more than giving your time – you will be a vital part of our lifesaving mission, which has been going strong in Wales since 1918. Our volunteers make up around 90% of the people at St John Ambulance Cymru. We come from all walks of life, but all share the vision of Wales being a community of lifesavers.

Why volunteer?

Volunteering is known to be beneficial for you and your community. Some of the benefits include:

  • Making a difference in your community
  • Learning new skills which you can use outside of volunteering too
  • Meeting new friends for life
  • Boosting your confidence
  • Opportunities for leadership and advancement

I joined St John Ambulance Cymru nearly 20 years ago with the childhood dream of wanting to become a doctor. Being a volunteer opened up so many opportunities!
