Support our Fundraiser campaign!

This campaign has been approved under the small-scale fundraising notification: Pienkeräys – lupanumero: RA/2026/132 by the Helsinki Police Department.

The First Aid Course aims to provide our participants and our staff with the necessary skills to:

• Reduce the severity of accidents and medical incidents by granting a knowledge base vast enough to assess any possible damage and additional dangers and risks; 

• Improve readiness and confidence to act in emergency situations and provide the necessary aid (that can make the difference in a life-or-death situation) until professional help arrives on location;

• Strengthen overall safety awareness within communities and contribute to a safer environment through first aid education;

• Build a culture of safety and collective health responsibility as first aid education fosters a culture of mutual care and assistance;

• Provide safer operations in a workplace environment by providing a knowledge base that aims at boosting engagement in daily tasks as well as reducing anxiety and concerns regarding incidents in the workplace; 

This initiative is our main priority regarding the fundraising campaign, with a secondary campaign centred around teaching of swimming skills, water safety etiquette, and community responsibility around lakes and public waters. This initiative has been reinforced by recent drowning tragedies in Finland (source: yle.fi). While first aid training remains the priority, swimming education is a natural next step in strengthening lifesaving skills.
