St John is a registered charity (Charitable Trust CC35255).

Donations in lieu of flowers and other ‘in memory’ gifts are gratefully accepted by St John. By clicking on our Donate button you will be directed to our online donation facility, and asked to select what you would like your donation to support. Simply select ‘Donation in memory’. You’ll also be able to enter in details about the person you are remembering. If you prefer to post a cheque in to us, just let us know that the donation is ‘in lieu of flowers’ and we’ll send you a receipt. 

If you already have a Will that does not include a bequest to St John, but would like to include one, you do not have to prepare an entirely new will.  A simple modification to your existing Will can be made by adding a codicil (a codicil is a supplement to a Will that is intended to alter or modify it). We recommend that your legal advisor help you when making changes to your existing Will to make sure it is legally binding.

Please email fundraising@stjohn.org.nz if you would like to discuss leaving a bequest to St John, would like to receive a copy of our bequest brochure, or require further information on leaving a bequest to St John.

Please note that any bequest inquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence by St John.

The easiest way to become a supporter of St John is by joining the St John Supporter Scheme - a means for individuals and family households to financially support St John’s charitable activities.

The Supporter Scheme is great value for money and a great way to support St John. It offers members the benefit of waiving the part-charge for any ambulance attendance for medical emergencies in return for individuals and households contributing to support the community work of St John.

To join the scheme, simply download a membership form from our website, complete the details and post back to us. Alternatively, if you would like to call us on 0800 ST JOHN, we will send you a St John Supporter Scheme brochure and membership form.

The Supporter Scheme membership card lists the name of the ‘principal supporter’ only. This decision was made as it just wouldn’t be practical to list the names of every household member on such a small card. While only the principal supporter is shown on the card, if the names of all household members living at the same address are given to us when applying for household membership, then please be assured that they are also covered under the Supporter Scheme terms and conditions.

When completing your Supporter Scheme membership form you are given the option of paying by cheque or credit card. Simply complete the form with the relevant payment details, and mail back to us. We will process the payment and forward a receipt back to you.

You are now able to pay the renewal of your supporter scheme membership online using a credit card. Proceed to the online payments page >>
