How to become a First Aid Volunteer

Thinking of spending some time as a First Aid Volunteer?

First aid can seem like such a basic element, but it's absolutely critical to ensuring a smooth running and successful charity event. As a First Aid Volunteer, you'll be supporting the charity community, dealing with everything from sprained ankles to heart attacks. Whether it's a fun-run, a benefit concert or a black-tie gala, you can never predict what may happen. And having someone trained and ready to save lives when needed can make a huge difference.

All First Aid Volunteers go through mandatory training and induction, so there's no experience required to help out. And who knows, a role like this can even lead to more advanced roles, like patient transport and emergency response. At the end of the day, you're there to support the people who care about the cause⁠—and what could be better than that?
