Every child is important! Yet every day they face countless dangers, from bullying and alcohol to smoking and illegal drugs. It’s our job as adults to guide them, and to arm our children with the confidence and skills to face these threats.
This is why Life Education is so important. As an independent not-for-profit, we're dedicated to empowering children and young people to make safer, healthier choices – even when faced with peer pressure.
But unfortunately, we can’t do it alone. JOIN NOW
Join Hands Up Now! and arm our youngest generation with the information, skills and self-esteem they need to make better life choices. Choices that will keep them safe and ensure they continue to thrive.
How You Can Help
These are concrete examples what your aid can accomplish:
$49 / month supports us to deliver
health and drug education to a small regional school for one year.
$37 / month provides education
to help keep one disadvantaged child
safe from harm every week.
$20 / month empowers 25 children
to make safer, healthier choices every year.
That's equivalent to a classroom of children.
These change as they grow, but include:
Drugs, tobacco and alcohol
Cyberbullying, exercise and staying safe online
Nutrition, exercise and body image
Coping with peer pressure
We also provide teacher and parent resources to ensure our messages are reinforced at home and in the classroom.
Your monthly gift as a Hands Up Now! supporter will go directly to educating more children about making safe and healthy life choices.
I vividly remember my tour of one of the wards of Royal Brisbane Hospital, after being invited there by leading maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Anthony Lynham, who is now one of our Patrons.
It was a Monday morning, and there were more than fifty people queued up seeking treatment, many of them suffering alcohol related facial injuries from assaults or accidents over the weekend. Read the whole story here >>
