    The Safety Centre Charity Is Here For Your Life Saving Learning

    The Safety Centre Charity was thrilled to educate over 14,000 children, young people and adults with life-saving learning since reopening after the pandemic. The charity based in Kiln Farm, Milton Keynes is the regions leading safety education charity. The Safety Centre education team are ready and excited to welcome students and visitors to their education centre Hazard Alley for the next academic year!

    New Early Intervention Knife Crime Education Programme & Scenario

    Last year the Safety Centre launched their new choices and consequences education scenario. This new scenario has children focus on their choices and the consequences of these choices in relation to littering, graffiti and knife crime, funded by Safer MK and MK Development Partnership. This alongside the brand new Choices and Consequences: Early Knife Crime Intervention classroom session, available for primary school children in year five and six, has been a really well received addition to our already life-saving curriculum.

    We encourage schools to book our sessions early, so speak to our education team on 01908 263009 to book your year five and six students in school sessions for next academic year.

    Fantastic End Of Year Results!

    Last academic year the Safety Centre Charity taught over 14,000 children, young people and adults life-saving education. This has either been through tours at our education centre, sessions in schools as part of our outreach programme or first aid and fire marshal training, which is available for both schools and companies to book.

    Amy Lawrence, Bookings and Marketing Assistant at the Safety Centre Charity said

    ‘We believe that education empowers people to make safer choices and could not be happier with the way this first year back has gone. We cannot wait to see what the next year will bring.’

    To find out more about visiting Hazard Alley, having a school outreach session, or training your employees with us head to our website for further details and how to book.

    Incredible Volunteers!

    As always, our incredible guides are at the heart of our work at Hazard Alley, educating young people about staying safe in everyday situations. The amazing team dedicated over 2,600 hours last year to teaching life-saving education.

    The Safety Centre is always looking for more volunteers to join their amazing team! If you have 2.5 hours free in your week, why not volunteer with us and save a child’s life? Full training given and travel expenses paid. Contact us on 01908 263009 or email volunteerguides@safetycentre.co.uk to find out more. We would love to hear from you!

    Safety Centre Volunteers- Volunteers Week 2022

    This week is Volunteers Week and we’ve been speaking to some of our brilliant volunteers about how they got involved with the Safety Centre and what they enjoy about volunteering with us.

    Iain’s Story

    Iain has been a volunteer at the Safety Centre Charity for five years. Originally from Glasgow, Iain is now retired and lives in Milton Keynes with his wife. Following a career in electronics Iain now enjoys working with his community in Wolverton, woodwork and running when he’s not leading tours at the Safety Centre. Every week during term time we welcome school children to our immersive learning centre Hazard Alley, where Iain leads tours of children around our 12 safety scenarios. Here volunteers talk about the dangers of everyday situations and how we can keep ourselves safe. We asked Iain how he got involved with volunteering at the Safety Centre and he said:

    I’d not long retired when I saw a stand outside of Tesco which said “Help Save Children”. At first I didn’t think it was for me but then I thought, no I’ve been looking for something to do, I’ll see what it’s all about. I’ve never looked back. I love the tours, they’re great fun. They keep me stimulated and get me out of the house. It’s been really good for my mental agility trying to remember students’ names and scenarios. Knowing that my work here helps kids to remember that, if nothing else, when they’re in trouble they need to find someone to help, is so important to me. As well as teaching children about the importance of crossing the road safely, as you only get one chance to do it right. It’s always fun with the kids, they keep you on your toes.

    Best Safety Scenario

    We asked Iain what his favourite safety scenario was and he said

    Road safety is my favourite, because every year over 3,000 people are hurt or die crossing the road. Cars and road crossing can be very dangerous when things go wrong. Teaching children about these dangers is so important and giving them the tools to make decisions safely.

    Iain said to anyone thinking about joining the volunteer team at the Safety Centre:

    Do it. Its wonderful. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. It means so much to me. You can’t think of anything great on your own but when you’re part of a team things happen. Sharing real stories helps people learn and that’s what we do here.

    You can find out more information about volunteering with us here. If you’d like to volunteer with us please get in touch by calling us on 01908 263009.

    It’s Volunteers’ Week 2020 – an opportunity for us to pay tribute to our fantastic team of volunteers.

    Thank you to all of our volunteers for all the time, energy and enthusiasm you bring helping our young visitors learn how to keep themselves safe. Guiding children around Hazard Alley and helping them to practice making emergency 999 calls creates an engaging and memorable learning experience. Teaching children the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need is ever more critical in the current pandemic but sadly something we can’t do at Kiln Farm right now.

    We miss you terribly during lock down but the Virtual Volunteer Cuppa on a Friday morning is a high spot in our week. We’re also well impressed with your determination to keep in touch and your willingness to embrace video conferencing in order to stay in touch remotely.  You are keeping us all young and inspired to rebuild once this is all over.

    We can’t wait until we can welcome you back to the centre all in your green tops and with your big smiles, ready to put into practice all the brilliant suggestions to make visits possible again from our recent zoom call. In Volunteers’ Week and every week, let’s keep our community going, the laughs comings,  and the conversation going until we can meet again in person.

    If you are interested in joining this fabulous bunch of people, we are always looking for more volunteers. You can find out more here or email us to arrange a chat.
