Every year we get more and more children calling 999 for medical help usually when a member of their family has suddenly taken ill. Each time it amazes us how calm and how well they carry out the instructions given to them by the 999 call handler while they wait for help to arrive. We’ve had children as young as four ring us up, handling an emergency situation like a pro.

If you know a child who has dialled 999 for an ambulance and is a genuine lifesaver, let us know at [email protected] with the details, including your name and contact number. We would like them to be part of a very exciting project.

Please note: the lifesaving event must have taken place within the last six-12 months.
