  • St John Ambulance is a well recognised UK charity; but it is have to go through a massive process of change. Historically a very military-styled organisation, it is having to adapt in recognition that many of its volunteers don't want to be involved with rank and a rigid hierachy. The whole role of providing first aid has changed; and St John Ambulance has become a major youth organisation. The reality of being a volunteer in this period is documented on BlogStJohn by a number of volunteers with different roles in the organisation.
