Hello mapping people
There is a building and yard in Hereford used by St John's Ambulance.
The building functions as a meeting venue (like a scout hut but for St
John's) and some vehicles are stored in the yard.

How would you tag this?
It's currently amenity=doctors which doesn't seem right.
emergency=ambulance_station doesn't seem to describe this use.
I was heading down amenity=community_centre route but I'm not sure
that's right either.
A quick search for St John's Ambulance reveals a wider range of
approaches in other areas.
I'd be inclined to go for community centre, in this case. It isn't an
emergency ambulance station, which is what the
emergency=ambulance_station tag is for (and, in any case, is rapidly
becoming obsolete with the new distributed means of organising an
ambulance service), and it isn't a doctor or a clinic either. And the
main purpose of the building (as opposed to the yard) is for things like
first aid training (both for St John volunteers themselves and the wider
community). So a community centre is probably closest.
