St John Ambulance is an affiliated movement of charitable organisations in mostly Commonwealth countries which provide first aid education and consumables and emergency medical services. St John organisations are primarily staffed by volunteer members and funded through their commercial endeavours, government contracts or donations. The associations are supported by the International Secretariat of the Order of St John (based in London) and its national priories.
