Just ask Deborah and her son, Tom. 10-year-old Tom was on hand to save Deborah’s life when she started choking at the breakfast table, just one day after we’d taught him first aid.

Tom’s story is special, but it’s not unique. Every day, people save lives thanks to the skills we’ve taught them. We already train hundreds of thousands

of people – many of them young people – every year. But we need to reach more, and that’s why we need your support. Just £5 would pay for first aid guides to an entire year group at your local secondary school. It’s a straightforward idea, but it could be the difference between life and death.

‘ tom saved my life. if he hadn’t knoWn What to do, things could have turned out very differently. i am so proud.’

At St John Ambulance, we teach people first aid. It’s a simple skill, but it can have an incredible impact.
