What we provide
Services
Educate
Through our educate programmes, we provide opportunities for individuals and organisations to learn about several relevant subjects depending on their requirements. Our bitesize workshops and webinars deliver accessible learning for many, and our research helps deliver a real time understanding of a variety of societal challenges.
Train
Through our direct training services, we provide organisations with mandatory health and safety training and through our partnerships we offer parents and those with low social/economic mobility the opportunity to access the same lifesaving skills. By working with us you can be confident that your staff are accessing the most relevant and engaging training and that the investment continues to help us to train those in society who otherwise would not be able to access these lifesaving skills.
Empower
The community Impact licence programme provides an opportunity to upskill internal teams with the means of delivering paediatric First Aid Training to parents and care givers that already interact with your services. Family Centres, charities and community groups can all access this community engagement offering.

Our Social Mission
It was recognised that there is a disparity in First Aid provision and significant financial and cultural barriers to accessing this life-saving training. One simple example is that of first-time parents. Family First Aid training is available at a significant cost, if you have the means, you can undertake this training. If you add in the barriers of awareness and affordability, those who do not have the means, the awareness, or the confidence to attend this training will miss out. Our solution – the creation of engaging and accessible First Aid training and Mental Health First Aid training to all. Through our Theory of Change.
