The Education Centre - Holland

I purchased the Life Skills for Children course as part of a research programme i was conducting. Together with a team of 5 senior teachers and 30 young team members we have delivered the course to over 2,500 children.

I am very pleased with the response from the children. Many of them use the communication skills taught within the course every day.

The response we have had from the parents of the children has been very positive. In fact we have parents asking to be trained in the course so that they can start educating their other children in the correct skills.

A very simple and effective course that is enjoyable to learn and teach.

Home Tutor - London

I provide a home tutoring service and was attracted to the Life Skills course as many of the students i teach have learning and behaviour difficulties.

I have found my self using the material within the course in every class i run and my students ability to communicate with me has improved.

When talking to many of the students i work with on a daily basis it is clear to see that many of them have never been taught some of the basic skills to understand the difference between right and wrong, how to communicate with each other and how to set achievable goals for themselves.

Life Skills for Children is simple to learn and very engaging. I either teach the material myself or use the instructional DVD to educate the students. A great programme, well done.

St Patricks First School

Life Skills for Children has made a fantastic impact in our school. The response from the children has been enthusiast and we have already developed a team of junior instructors within our school that are starting to help us deliver the course to other pupils.

The Children's work book has proven to be very popular with both the children and their parents.

As a PSHE teacher within our school, i have found the Life Skills course to be a great addition to the curriculum we provide to our pupils. The Life Skills measurement systems are easy to follow and understand and enable us to build a very positive relationship with every child that goes throught the course.

Sue Deaver - Youth Development Worker

My role as a youth development worker takes me into every area of the community where i work with young people from very diverse backgrounds.

I go into sports groups, community centres and schools on a regular basis and see first hand the problems these young people are experiencing daily.

Life Skills for Children has given me the opportunity to develop teams of young people that can work within our community and make a positive difference.

Life Skills is fun, educational and simple to learn. It is amazing to see these young people teaching other teenagers how to increase their ability to communicate, understand the difference between right and wrong and increase their personal safety.

A great programme.

Bill Greenoff - Football Coach - Brookfield Rangers under 15's

Football like most sports is about communication and the Life Skills for Children programme interested me for that reason.

I was shocked how simple the exercises within the course were to both learn and teach.

Football as grass roots level can be a volatile place with parents often getting very vocal on the side lines.

We have put the whole team and their parents though the course and it has been great fun.

Andy McBernie - Head Teacher - Cottesloe School Wing

The Life Skills for Children programme is a unique learning experience for young people in which that have the opportunity to express themselves whilst learning some valuable skills to increase their personal safety and ability to work and play in social arenas.

This programme is so simple to learn i have developed a kids teach kids team within my school through the resources provided by the Life Skills team.

Beverley Hughes - Minister for Young People

Programmes such as Life Skills for Children provide an important mechanism for engaging young people in important issues involving their personal safety and i applaud the efforts and work of the Life Skills team.

MAMAA - Mothers Against Murder and Aggression

Along with other organisations and families of victims of knife and gun crime Mamaa is backing and working with Life Skills because we believe this could be part of the solution to the terrible epidemic of violence among our young people.

Mamaa does and will continue to work and support all organisations that we feel can make a difference.

Life Skills is a programme that not only teaches children the dangers of carrying a weapon, but also how to be aware that someone else is carrying a weapon.
It also teaches our children the skills needed to stay safe in today's society.

We also believe that the Boot Camp that life skills has devised could be beneficial to many young people on the brink of joining gangs or getting involved in crime.

Mamaa believes that there can not be to many organisations working towards a safer more tolerant society and for this reason we ask you to support the Life Skills for Children programme and help them to deploy the course to millions of children around the world.
