Learning First Aid with Milton Keynes Play Association

Empowering Young Minds: Learning First Aid with Milton Keynes Play Association:  Friday 14th March 2025 

Recently, our young people had an incredible opportunity to learn essential first aid skills, including basic CPR, thanks to the fantastic support of Milton Keynes Play Association. This session wasn’t just about education, it was about equipping the next generation with life-saving knowledge that could make all the difference in an emergency.

Why Should Children Learn First Aid?

Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time, and knowing what to do in those critical moments can be the difference between life and death. Teaching children first aid skills, especially CPR, empowers them to act confidently if they ever find themselves in a situation where someone needs help.  

• Quick Response Can Save Lives - Every second counts in an emergency. If a child knows how to react, they can assist until professional help arrives.     
• Building Confidence and Responsibility - Learning first aid helps children develop problem-solving skills and resilience, making them feel more capable and prepared.    
• Creating a Community of Helpers - When young people are trained in first aid, they spread awareness and inspire others to learn, strengthening the safety net within their community.

A Huge Thank You!

A big thank you to Milton Keynes Play Association for facilitating this invaluable session. Their dedication to community learning ensures that our young people have access to the skills they need to stay safe and help others.
This is just the beginning—we hope to continue providing opportunities for children to learn, grow, and become confident first responders in everyday life. Because knowing first aid isn’t just a skill—it’s a superpower!
