Why it Matters

Here's how Jack put learning into life-saving action.

In July 2025, just days after visiting Lifeskills and learning how to handle an emergency first aid situation, Jack responded quickly and calmly when his Mum suffered a heart attack. Jack's teacher wrote, "Thank you for the incredible work you do with young people. Your impact truly saves lives. This powerful example shows how vital your training is. You don’t just teach safety—you empower children with confidence and life-saving knowledge."

With Mum recovering well, Jack's bravery earned him a Hero's Certificate and some well-deserved recognition: Weston schoolboy's 'quick thinking' saves mum’s life | Weston Mercury

Come along and see the difference early safety education makes.

From empowering children like Jack to respond in moments of crisis, to helping businesses — big or small — strengthen their connection to the communities they serve.

Book your place today and find out how you can be part of this life-saving work.
