YOU see volunteers from St John Ambulance at many of the events and sporting occasions around the area.
But did you know that they train nearly half a million people a year and are the UK's leading first-aid charity?
The St John website, www.sja.org.uk, provides information and advice, including how to become a volunteer.
The site stresses that there are marketing, fund-raising and youth-work posts as well as first-aid ones.
