Life Education Wessex

Life Education Wessex is an independent charity and the local operating trust of national organisation Life Education, which brings age-appropriate educational programmes to as many youngsters as possible across the UK. It is the only organisation that supports schools in meeting the national curriculum and government guidelines for health and drugs education to children of primary school age, but receives no government funding.

The aim is to help equip young people with the knowledge, skills and self confidence to form positive healthy attitudes and make healthy choices, focusing on the effect and risks associated with the use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco and medicines, in addition, children learn skills of friendship and how to cope with bullying and peer pressure.
