If someone collapsed in front of you, or fell into water and started to drown, or a baby started choking? Dial 999 of course, but then what do you do while you wait for the emergency services to arrive?
For over one hundred years The Royal Life Saving Society UK or Lifesavers has been training people how to respond in these life or death situations – but now we need your help
We want more people to learn the very basic lifesaving techniques – to stop being a bystander and become a lifesaver. That’s why we have organised Kiss4Life A series of events that everyone can have fun with but also help to raise funds so that The Royal Life Saving Society UK can develop its valuable work, and everyone can learn how to help save a life.
I’m sure that you will be able to think of lots of great ways to get involved, we also have a few ideas on the website to get you going.
If you sell items on our behalf we are happy for you to retain up to 50% of the money you raise to help Lifesavers continue our work through Community First Responder, Save a Baby’s Life and Water Safety programmes.Schools, cluns and voluntary organisations can take advantage of our appeal to retain up to 50%.
Other organisations have enjoyed huge benefits from supporting us by selling our products. No costs to you are involved. Therefore, the sooner you start selling, the sooner you too will be saving lives.
What the money
could buy:
£5: will provide a water safety video for schoolchildren
