The 11th Southampton City Cubs had a visit from Hants Air Ambulance this week. The lady was amazing and kept the cubs engaged for 45 minutes. She’d love to visit other cub and beaver groups. If interested please keep reading:
Dear Leader
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance recently launched a new campaign, Be a 999 Hero, designed to help familiarise children with the basic life-saving procedure of making a 999 call and to raise awareness of the charity.
To ensure that this message reaches as many young people as possible, we are visiting schools, nurseries and youth groups throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight over the next 18 months.
During our visit we will deliver a 40 minute interactive presentation suitable for young people aged 3 -11 which includes take home goodies for children, a resources pack for group leaders and, in some cases, a surprise visit from our mascot.
At the forefront of the campaign are six super hero characters inspired by our amazing team of paramedics, doctors and pilots, who are everyday real life heroes. The characters are featured on our new children’s website, Sky Heroes 56, where young people and group leaders can access vital safety information, fundraising ideas, and a news page of local activity: http://www.hiowaa.org/skyheroes56/
If you would like us to visit your group, please get in touch and help us to spread this important life-saving message to children across the region.
