Education
We’re here to help you… even in school!
The North West Air Ambulance Charity has developed a bespoke education program which can be tailored to your needs. We offer presentations or assemblies to schools, colleges, universities and youth groups. We also offer an extensive range of learning resources that can be used in school or at home.
We have worked with a number of teachers to develop lesson ideas inspired by our lifesaving work, which have been carefully crafted to tie in with the national curriculum framework.

Our resources have been developed for use in school or at home.

A fun tool to start the day! Sing along to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and you can add your school name into the song.
A fun interactive cube for children to put together, add their memories of the day and talk home with them so they can discuss what they’ve learned.
