Public benefits
The direct public benefits that flow from this purpose are that the public (adults, young people and children) throughout Northern Ireland have access to first aid training and health & safety training options thus addressing the unacceptable situation whereby many people die each year, when immediate first aid could have been given them a chance
to live. The purpose further enables the charity’s public beneficiaries throughout the province to benefit from improved health outcomes and reduced level of sickness in that the public have access to the free provision of direct assistance in first aid and pre-hospital care at public events. The public are provided with immediate on site first aid and medical assistance thus often minimising the need to seek further medical intervention. Sickness of the public is further relieved by the transportation of all those in need to hospital, with the services free to the public at the point of delivery. SJA(NI) volunteer resources are strategically based within communities throughout all of Northern Ireland thus ensuring all sections of the public benefit from our first aid and ambulance services. Feedback through our appraisal systems is consistently highly appreciative for all of St John Ambulance(NI) services and the statistics stated below demonstrate the reach of the public benefit. St John Ambulance(NI) provides first aid, and health & safety training, first aid services including event coverage, ambulance services including patient transfers, youth development and emergency planning and resilience. Our reports show that 3360 people were trained through SJA(NI) work related first aid courses in 2014 together with the delivery of 176 courses in child care, sports injuries and health & safety sectors. In 2014 our 990 adult volunteers responded to support the public attending, the Giro D’Italia in Belfast, the Clipper festival in Londonderry, the Walled City Tattoo, the Portrush Air Show, the North West 200, Ulster Grand Prix, the Ulster Rally and Ulster Rugby in addition to numerous local smaller community events. (In all cases SJA(NI) services were free to members of the public treated at point of delivery – 4627 casualties were treated.) In 2014, 3548 patients were transported with the services free to those members of the public requiring transportation; our reports show that SJA(NI) supports annually on average 600 cadets (10-18years) and 300 badgers (5-10years) providing development in core subjects such as first aid & care related competencies; SJA(NI) fleet of first aid vehicles & trained volunteers supported the emergency services in 2014, for example responding to a number of alerts to airports, and a major incident at the Odyssey Complex in Belfast thus freeing the emergency ambulance services to protect the public in health matters. Feedback through our appraisal systems is consistently highly appreciative of all of SJA(NI) services. SJA(NI) received funding from the Uniformed Youth Social Action Fund in 2015 to enable further recruitment of young people from disadvantaged areas and the delivery of first aid courses free of charge to the young offenders and women currently resident in Hydebank Wood, Belfast. There is no private benefit arising from the purposes of our organization. Everything we do is in furtherance of delivering services to the public. No harm arises from our purposes. Where risk may exist, measures are in place to mitigate or remove risk
