IF THEY WEREN’T HERE TODAY WHO WOULD CARE? / At sporting and public events up and down the country, volunteers from St John Ambulance spend 4 million hours a year. Out in all weathers. / They’re rarely noticed until there’s an emergency. They’re trained to cope with all manner of ailments. From mild headaches to massive heart attacks. They receive no payment. No government funding. Just the satisfaction of carrying out an invaluable public service. / They handle over 800 casualties a day. Hopefully you’ll never need them. But they’ll be there just the same. / If you’d like more information about St John Ambulance, or indeed would like to volunteer your services or give a donation please contact - / Your local St John Ambulance Headquarters (see telephone book for address). Or St John Ambulance National Headquarters, 1 Grosvenor Crescent, London SW1X 7EF.
