St John Ambulance Coleraine Unit

St John Ambulance Coleraine Unit A charitable first aid and ambulance organisation providing training and event cover.

What we do

St John Ambulance teaches people first aid – about 800,000 last year alone – so that they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. Thousands of the people we trained went on to offer their skills and time to be the difference right in the heart of their community, as St John Ambulance volunteers – to provide first aid at public events, to be Community First Responder

s who attend emergency calls and provide care until the ambulance arrives, to provide patient transport, or as back up to local ambulance services during local major emergencies. We have special first aid programmes for schools and activities for young people.

🚑💚 What a week for St John Ambulance Coleraine!

It’s been another incredibly busy week for our volunteers, doing what we do best — supporting our communities and keeping people safe at events across Northern Ireland.

⛺ Throughout the week, our crews have had the privilege of providing medical cover for New Horizon NI at Ulster University. This is an event we are proud to support year after year, and it’s always fantastic to be part of such a great week.

🐾 We were also delighted to provide medical cover for the Coleraine Canine Club Dog Show — certainly a different type of event for our crews, but another great opportunity to support an event within our local community! 🐕💚

🎆 We finished off the week on the North Coast, with our crews providing medical cover at the Causeway Coast & Glens Fireworks in Portrush — another brilliant event right on our doorstep.

🎶 And we couldn’t finish this post without recognising our fantastic St John colleagues from across Northern Ireland and England, who have come together to provide extensive medical cover at the Belfast Fleadh, all while units continue to keep local events covered across the country.

None of this happens without our incredible volunteers — giving up their time, working together and being there when people need us most. A massive thank you to every volunteer who has pulled on the green uniform this week! 💚👏

From dog shows and community events to some of Northern Ireland’s largest gatherings, St John Ambulance continues to be one of Northern Ireland’s leading providers of event medical cover — delivering professional, dependable care when and where it’s needed. 🚑💚

One team. One mission. Supporting our communities.

🚨 Let’s get behind Adrian, Annie & Lois! 🚨

Everyone at St John Ambulance Coleraine Unit would like to wish Adrian, Annie and Lois the very best for Saturday as they take on an incredible 9-hour CPR Marathon at CastleCourt Shopping Centre, Belfast. ❤️🚑

Our valued student paramedics will be joining their colleagues to help raise funds for equipment and resources for the Ulster University Paramedicine Society.

Throughout the day, they’ll also be teaching members of the public vital bystander CPR skills — helping build confidence, awareness, and knowledge that could one day save a life.

This is an amazing challenge and a fantastic cause, and we are incredibly proud to support them.

Every donation, share, and message of support makes a difference. Please donate if you can, and most importantly — SHARE SHARE SHARE! 🫶🏼

If you’re in Belfast on Saturday, be sure to stop by, say hello, and show the team your support.

As we stand down from cover at this year’s North West 200, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been another incredibly busy, challenging, and rewarding week for all involved.

For the past week, our volunteers have worked tirelessly across the Triangle and Pit’s area, providing 24/7 cover since last Sunday to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of racers, marshals, spectators, officials, and the wider public during one of the biggest sporting attractions in Northern Ireland.

It is always a privilege for St John Coleraine to play our part in such a prestigious event. Throughout the week, we have worked alongside the St John Regional Team, Logistics and Control Teams, Coleraine & District Motor Club, fellow St John units from across Northern Ireland, the emergency services, and many partner agencies. We have also continued to support the many events taking place across the Causeway Coast and Glens area — and to say it has been a busy week would truly be an understatement.

None of this would be possible without the commitment, professionalism, and dedication of our volunteers, who give up their own time to serve others. Your hard work, long hours, and teamwork do not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful to every single person who played a role this week.

We would also like to acknowledge the kindness and generosity shown by local businesses who kept our teams fed and watered throughout the week — your support means a great deal to us, and we will thank you properly in a separate post.

As we reflect on the week, we also pause to remember Kamil Holán. Our thoughts and prayers remain with his family, friends, and all those affected at this difficult time.

Finally, thank you once again to our Events Lead and every volunteer who helped ensure the safety of our little area on the North Coast. We are proud to stand together in support of our communities and this world-famous event. 💚🚑
