East Midlands

Life Education East Midlands reaches 43,000 children in over 200 schools each year. 

We are a specialist charity provider of high-quality health, well-being and drug prevention education working with primary schools across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptionshire, Leicestershire and Rutland, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Central Bedfordshire. Our aim is to equip young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make choices that will help them to live healthier, happier lives.

We are a delivery partner of Coram Life Education, the UK’s leading health and drug education organisation. Bringing health and well-being learning to life, we’ve been delivering health and drug education programmes in these regions for over 20 years, and to over 200 schools. Our regularly updated programmes have been created by child development experts to be stimuli-rich and interactive, and through puppetry, role play, and film clips we capture children’s imaginations and develop critical thinking and risk management skills.

Our core programmes for children

Our programmes are delivered in our LifeBase workshops, where Educators go into the children’s classroom or school hall, equipped with interactive educational resources that support children’s learning.  Life Space workshops are our newer ‘Pop-up’ classrooms which can be assembled within school premises. Learning is enhanced through the use of this focused and memorable environment.  Our highly trained educators provide children with stimulating and exciting sessions encouraging children to make healthy choices.  The sessions lare aligned to the DfE's RSHE statutory requirements and the National Curriculum, so that the work can be integrated and continued through a school’s PSHE programme of study. 

SCARF Live  Online we're now delivering new, innovative, virtual workshops on Zoom.  Giving your children positive, exciting enrichment experiences and enhancing their emotional health. Interactive Workshops - in your school or delivered online (coramlifeeducation.org.uk)
