The awards also honoured the support of the 1100 volunteers and 250 youth volunteers who give up around 67,000 hours of their own personal time every year. They have provided first aid cover to the millions of people who attend around 2000 events in Scotland every year.

St Andrew's First Aid is Scotland’s only dedicated first aid charity and has been one of the country’s preferred first aid providers for over 130 years.

The voluntary organisation aims to preserve the lives of people across Scotland through the provision of the highest standards of training and education initiatives and emergency first aid at public events.

Each year, St Andrew’s First Aid teaches vital life-saving techniques to over 20,000 people across the country.

A very fun and emotional evening had by all!
