An ambulance service which is run by volunteers of all ages providing first aid and medical treatment to members of the public throughout the world.
Its not just about putting plasters on cuts, members attend numerous training courses such as FAW (First Aid at Work) and AED (Automated External Defribulator) and have helped to save thousands of people lives and work in a close partnership with the local ambulance services.
Without St John Ambulance no events such as the London Marathon, Triathlon and football matches would be able to go ahead.
Often wrongly shortened to "St John's Ambulance"
Like the police and the army, there are different ranks within the organisation; cadet leader, corporal, sergent etc. Also, members quite often are nurses and doctors with years of medical experience.
Badgers are the members from 5-10, cadets from 11-18 and adults from 18 years.
Being a member is fantastic, its really worthwhile and fun to be a part of something so intricately organised, some people dont realise how much work goes into each duty and how long people spend helping others, but its all worthwhile and a great organisation to be a part of.

Get the St John Ambulance mug.The town for growing up, the town for chavvy year youts to "chill" at Paragon Park and get picked up by BTEC nonces driving around playing Nines or Bugzy malone. The story of this town goes on further, may I mention the park and ride. Yes! A great addition for the Middle class to get a family bus to Cambridge to go punting. That's the only daytime.... 8pm onwards the £1 parking fee is written off for the evening so up come forth the Barry boy drivers in there 15 year old Vauxhall Corsas to go drifting around the wide open space and causing absolute chaos, they're hard! Ever thinking about coming to St Ives now..... DON'T, the box is shut!

Get the St marys high cheshunt mug.A long st. that goes through ritch ass park slope all the way down to the shittyer south slope. Right after you pass 5th avenue your going o start seeing alot of hispanics and blacks. Union and 4th av. is notorious for the many chop shops on the block. Most yuppy park slope kids avoid walking down 4th and 3rd avenue. It's also notorious for car theft.
Hey theres a nice cleaned Nissan down at Union St. and third i might cop it.
My mom avoids parking on Union st. and 4th avenue now because her car's been stolen so much.

Get the Union St. mug.basically an obsessed praying catholic school that loses about ten kids every year. if your kid likes to pray at school for ten hours, i recommend it to them. the kids that leave the school usually go to riverside, mentor, or some weird school on the west side. don't be surprised if you see the bathroom doors being kicked and the soap dispensers being taken apart.
honestly i don't know how this school is even still open... read the example below if you want to know what i'm talking about:
