MEDIA RELEASE 27 JULY 2015
ST JOHN IS NEW ZEALAND’S MOST TRUSTED CHARITY - AGAIN!
St John is proud to announce it has been voted the Most Trusted Charity in the highly competitive and respected Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brands Awards 2015.
For a second year running, the same public that St John serves has endorsed the emergency ambulance service and its community programmes with this prestigious title.
“Not only do Kiwis place a high value on how we care for them in the community but they trust St John to use public contributions wisely to help treat and benefit them - a trust we never take for granted,” says St John Chief Executive Peter Bradley.
“Our ambulance officers treat and transport more than 425,000 patients a year and are in the unique position of going into people’s homes and places of work to help them at times of great need so to have earned the public’s trust and confidence in how we operate is fantastic.”
St John provides emergency ambulance services to 90% of the country and is the largest primary healthcare provider in New Zealand.
It helps build resilient communities and supports people living independently for longer with services like Caring Caller, Health Shuttles, monitored medical alarms, first aid training and an extensive youth programme.
