Children First – Building a Safe Future

​

On 17th, 18th and 20th February 2026, we were proud to deliver multiple First Aid sessions as part of our Children First – Building a Safe Future project, generously funded by Cheshire Community Foundation and delivered in partnership with Ensure Safety & Training.

​

Across the three days, we welcomed children from different age groups, with each session carefully designed to suit the specific age and understanding of participants. This ensured that learning was accessible, engaging, and appropriate for every child involved.

​

In a supportive and interactive environment, children were introduced to essential life-saving skills, including how to recognise an emergency, how to call for help, basic CPR techniques, and the use of a defibrillator. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on activities, participants were able to build confidence while learning how to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations.

​

It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm, focus, and confidence grow throughout each session. The children showed great maturity and willingness to take part, supporting one another and embracing the responsibility of learning how to help others.

​

At Smiles to Come CIC, we believe that equipping children with safety knowledge from an early age helps build stronger, more resilient communities. We are incredibly grateful to Cheshire Community Foundation for making this project possible and proud of every young person who took part in helping to build a safer future.
