For over 135 years St Andrew’s First Aid has been training people to save lives, equipping the people of Scotland with appropriate first aid skills. Our vision is to help prepare every community to deliver first aid with confidence so that no life is lost or suffering endured due to lack of these essential skills. To deliver this we need to have sufficient funds in place and the strategies to make the organisation more sustainable.
