Hi, I'm
John Gilmour
I am a registered nurse and the founder of Lifeline Ambulance CIC — a not-for-profit Community Interest Company based in Denton, Greater Manchester.
Everything we do is driven by one belief: that everyone deserves access to first aid training, patient transport, and emergency care, regardless of their circumstances.
Our team of qualified nurses and trained volunteers work tirelessly to serve our community. Whether it's teaching life-saving skills, transporting vulnerable patients, or donating defibrillators to local venues — we are here to help.
Our Story“Providing essential first aid training courses for individuals seeking to acquire life-saving skills. Our courses are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and confidence to act effectively in emergency situations, potentially saving lives and promoting a safer community.”
