LINKS is the student division of St John Ambulance, and Hull LINKS is also a society run by students of the University which provides First Aid cover for the many events which take place on campus, for example, at Asylum or for sports matches. Just like any other society in the Union, we hold weekly meetings for all members, at which we usually have training to help us deal with the various situations we might come across as First Aiders. We also have regular socials and fundraising activities to raise money for equipment and uniform.
