Fun way to learn safety messages

East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service has helped develop a unique project that delivers fire and road safety messages through football coaching. The Coaching for a Safer Community project, the first of its kind in the country, has been developed in partnership with West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service and Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club.

Under the project fire service personnel take a unique FA coaching course and then give sessions to young people in schools, colleges, clubs and other organisations and settings. Jamie Barry a firefighter with East Sussex said: “The children and young people really enjoy and appreciate the sessions, whilst the parents and teachers confirm the message gets through very efficiently when you use football as the hook.” For more information on the scheme visit www.c4sc.org or email dave.amiet@esfrs.org
