Young Healthcare Volunteers

A team of 232 young people volunteered as community educators to share lifesaving first aid skills with their communities across the UK, as part of StreetDoctors.

These inspiring young people are healthcare students - trainee nurses, doctors, and paramedics - who went out to prisons, schools, and youth centres as part of the StreetDoctors programme to train other young people in what to do if someone is bleeding and what to do if someone is knocked out.

Between them the volunteers ran over 1,800 separate training sessions for 16,571 young people - who now know how to save lives and keep the streets safer with emergency first aid.

The volunteers travelled across the country, from rural towns to urban inner-city environments to reach young people affected by violence and share skills and a message of hope, showing through their own actions how young people can make the streets safer.
