Educating Children in First Aid
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jack, I am a trainee teacher at the University of Derby, England and a Summer Beach Lifegaurd for the RNLI, trained in First Aid at Work and Casualty Care (Advanced First Aid).
I am currently attempting to raise money in order to train and teach children First Aid in schools. I feel it is extremely important for everyone to know life saving techniques and there is not always an opportunity for children to be made aware of these techniques. There are organisations that go to schools and deliver First Aid lessons, but this is often for a short period of time over a day or hard to organise and fit in with school life.
By raising this money, and purchasing my own First Aid training equipment, I hope to deliver sufficient First Aid lessons in extra-curricula activities within every school I visit for the remainder of my University practice and further into my own career once I am a qualifiied teacher.
The funds raised will be spent as followed:
Ø CPR Training Manikin set x1 £445.00
Ø Ambulance dressings No.1 x5 Ind.=£0.30 Tot.=£1.50
Ø Ambulance dressings No.2 x5 Ind.=£0.40 Tot.=£2.00
Ø Cohesive bandages x5 Ind.=£1.59 Tot.=£7.95
Ø Cotton Crepe Bandages x5 Ind.=£0.39 Tot.=£1.95
Ø Low-adherent pad dressings x25 pack £4.90
Ø Anti-Choking Trainer x1 £109.95
Ø Triangular bandages x5 Ind.=£0.35 Tot.=£1.75
Ø CPR face mask x 3 Ind.=£3.49 Tot.=£10.47
As you can see, good quality CPR Training Manikins are expensive and the biggest expense on this list. The manikins are essential to good First Aid training as teaching children how to deliver CPR could essentially save a person's life in the future. If the full funds are not raised then the 'Anti-Choking Trainer' will be the first to be dropped from the list as training could be completed without it, but the use of the training equipment makes the experience a lot easier to understand and participate in.
I am hoping to raise funds by Friday 16th February 2018. I understand this is not long to raise the funds needed, but any contribution is really appreciated. And in the case that there are any extra donations past the goal mark, the extra money will be used to purhase further First Aid training equipment.
I really appreciate you taking the time to read about my fundraising and hope you consider donating, for what I believe, is a very worthy cause in educating the young generations early on about First Aid and developing their life saving abilities.
Many thanks!
