YOUTH leaders are needed for Britain’s leading first aid charity.

St John Ambulance London needs energetic adults to help run its programme of activities for young people.

The organisation runs units all over the capital and helps youngsters learn first aid skills, improve their confidence, attend major events, and take part in activities like camping and cooking.

Charity assistant commissioner for youth Mark Squirrell said: “It is not essential that a potential youth leader has significant first aid experience, as we can always provide that.

“What is more important is a passion for working with young people and lots of energy and ideas.”
