JOIN member organisations carry out a broad range of activities. Services and support are open to everyone.

Johanniter International (JOIN) is a partnership of national charity organisations founded by the Order of St John in Europe and the Middle East, and the Orders of St John in Europe.The central office of JOIN is located in Brussels. However, they have a common purpose in that they work to prevent and respond to emergencies aiming at helping people in everyday need as well as crisis. This shared approach to humanitarian welfare and social aid is based on the member organisations' Christian heritage.

🇦🇹 🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Two Austrian volunteers joined St John Ambulance in Wales for the Cardiff Half Marathon!
Through our Volunteer Swap, brothers Alex and Michael from Johanniter Österreich joined St John Ambulance Cymru to provide medical cover for the Cardiff Half Marathon.

From supporting runners to exchanging experiences with Welsh colleagues, their visit was full of valuable insights and warm hospitality. They even treated two German-speaking runners who were delighted to receive care in their native language.

On 14–15 September, we met with the SHIELD project partners in Vienna for the second face-to-face consortium meeting.
Led by the German Johanniter-Akademie Mitteldeutschland, SHIELD aims to strengthen the resilience, safety and participation of people with disabilities in emergency preparedness and disaster management.
During the meeting, partners reviewed new learning modules on inclusive civil protection, discussed materials for future trainers, and worked on a First Aid training scheme designed for people with disabilities. The consortium also planned upcoming national training sessions and preparations for a joint exercise in Leipzig in 2027.

Today, we mark the International Day of Charity🌍, a United Nations observance highlighting the power of solidarity, volunteering and collective action to support people and communities in need.
Across the Johanniter International network, our members and their volunteers work every day to strengthen healthcare, humanitarian assistance, social support and community resilience. Their commitment shows that charity is more than giving: it is about standing alongside people, protecting dignity and helping to create sustainable opportunities for the future.
The challenges facing communities around the world are increasingly complex, from humanitarian crises and poverty to displacement and climate-related emergencies. Addressing them requires strong cooperation between civil society, public authorities, communities and humanitarian organisations.
On this International Day of Charity, we thank all volunteers, staff, partners and supporters across the JOIN network whose commitment helps turn solidarity into action.
🤝 Together, we can make a difference.❤️

On Wednesday, the Johanniter Emergany Medical Team arrived in Carracas to deiver crucial help to the victims of the earhquake, carrying 14 metric tons of medical supplies and medications. The EMT of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. includes two Malteser International medical experts and specialises in ensuring continuous outpatient care in disaster-stricken areas.
Due to extensive destruction and dangerous aftershocks, many people are now living in improvised camps or on the streets. Some have found shelter in overcrowded emergency centres. The situation is particularly stressful, and even dangerous, for children and women. This is why Johanniter International Assistance has also lanched emergency relief measures in Caracas. Hygiene kits and essential supplies specifically for women and girls are being distributed in emergency shelters. With their national partner AVESA Ong Johanniter are providing psychological first aid and psychosocial support, as well as counselling on gender-based violence.
