A message from our CEO, Emily Harrison

The mission for Cookson First Aid is very simple, we want to save lives and empower people to feel prepared in an emergency through free first aid training. We are proudly a social enterprise, and are building a not-for-profit business to deliver training and create a long term legacy for Cookson First Aid and Oliver Cookson Foundation.

Social enterprises have such a unique position, and I think that is why people have really connected with us, they see that we are a business operating solely for the community, and our message – that everyone needs to know how to save a life – is a powerful one.

It is my goal to build Cookson First Aid into a national brand, that is recognised for making sure everyone has access to free in person training, and to build partnerships with companies who share our values to help us to deliver free training where it is needed most.

If you would like to work with us, contact emily@olivercooksonfoundation.org, I would love to hear from you.
