We are a part of the St John Ambulance South West Essex Network! Our Network covers Wickford, Billericay, Basildon and Grays.

Our volunteers provide first aid cover for events, community first aid & youth services

This Saturday on the 11th April 2025 we will be in Eastgate Shopping Centre Opposite Starbucks for our annual Blood pressure check Day which is ran supporting The Rotary Club of Basildon Concord as their Stroke Awareness Day! We will be in the centre from 10:00 till 14:30!

This is of course voluntary, but we believe that by providing this service we can potentially save lives every year that we run this and Every year we find people who don't know their blood pressure or haven't checked it in years.

Young adults and teenagers often don't remember ever having it checked because this test leads some people recommended to visit their local GP for a full blood pressure test

Many people don’t know that in our ambulances we have a minaturise button so that our crews can access all areas that they need and when we park on scene we can put the vehicle in our pocket to stop causing trouble for others!
