Overview
Little LifeSavers charity trains volunteers to deliver our 70 minute, FREE, lifesaving skills sessions. Our volunteers then visit local schools and teach children in years 5-8. We have taught over 25,000 children to date (2 of whom have saved a life).
We are looking to increase our volunteer base in your area so that we can start running our free, lifesaving skills sessions in schools local to you.
By volunteering with us, you can:
- Learn hands only CPR and other crucial lifesaving skills for yourself, then pass on your knowledge on to the next generation.
- Meet likeminded people and make friends OR sign up with friends and have a fun time teaching together.
- Build your confidence and sense of achievement.
- Enhance your CV and future employment prospects.
- Sign up & training is quick and online (approx. 2-3 hours).
- Once you have come through our onboarding process and you have your DBS certificate, you are ready to teach.
- You teach in teams of 3 to groups of up to 60 children.
- Volunteering for us can work around you and your other commitments- you sign up to the sessions that work for you.
- Please note, you do not need to have previous first aid knowledge/be studying a subject in medicine/healthcare to volunteer with us.
- We are looking for volunteers with enthusiasm, drive and passion to pass on their knowledge to children to help us achieve our goal of creating a ‘Nation of LifeSavers’.
- As we are still a small charity, we ask our volunteers to be active members of our volunteer community by helping us teach sessions/flyer/arrange school sessions/recruit volunteers/engage with us on social media/fundraise.
- If you would rather fundraise for us than teach- this is entirely possible too.
If this is you, please join our lovely volunteer community!
