We’re delighted to be teaming up to bring you fun, interactive first aid sessions designed especially for children — helping them build confidence and learn what to do in an emergency in a safe, supportive environment.

Who Are These Sessions For?

As this event is taking place during term time, these sessions are particularly aimed at home-educated children and those who are unable to attend mainstream education.

It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to take part in structured learning in a supportive, external environment — and for parents and carers to enjoy a little time to step back and recharge, knowing their children are engaged in something meaningful and valuable.

Little Lifesavers (Ages 3–7)

11:00am – 12:00pm

- Learning how to call 999 and stay safe

- Awareness of minor injuries

- Recovery position

- Fun mascots and hands-on activities

[Adults are asked to stay for this session)

Mini Responders (Ages 8–13)

12:30pm – 1:30pm

- Call 999 and clearly explain an emergency

- Care for bumps, burns, breaks and bleeding

- Carry out basic CPR

- Help someone who is choking

[Parents/carers are welcome to leave during this session, as long as we have emergency contact details.]

Age guidance is flexible. If you feel your child would be comfortable in the older group, that’s absolutely fine. The age ranges are simply a guide based on content. Please note that children under 6 may find the CPR mannequins more challenging.
