Place Description: KeepaBeat’s unique First Aid programme covers all your baby first aid needs; choking, CPR, Asthma, Sepsis, seizures, bumps, bruises and bandaging cuts. We run warm and inclusive classes that go the extra mile to ensure that you leave us satisfied that you have a grasp on all of your babies first aid needs. We also offer a network of ongoing support so that all you new parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and carers know what to do in the event of an emergency.
Our parent first aid class and our brand new children’s first aid class are proving particularly popular with the NCT and local Children’s Centre’s. Our focus is on teaching First Aid to those involved with small children and we are incredibly passionate about it too.
Nearly half of expectant parents (44%) have not learned basic First Aid in preparation for the arrival of their baby and one third of all parents have had to rush their children in to hospital at some point. Far too many of us are too scared to deliver the life saving First Aid care that is needed to save lives and a recent survey showed that 82% of parents would not know what to do if their child fell over, started to choke or was burnt.
It is this that drives us and we won’t stop until we make sure our precious little ones are in the safest hands.
What do we offer?
KeepaBeat offers a range of courses:
First Aid For Parents & Carers
Paediatric First Aid (For Childminders, Schools, Nannies etc)
Junior Medic Training
First Aid at Work
Mental Health First Aid

Place Description: This Child Contact Centre is part of the Knock Ards and Bangor group of Child Contact Centres
We are a voluntary organisation overseen by a board of directors and run by a part-time Coordinator & Deputy Coordinator & Team Leader, with a team of trained, committed volunteers who are impartial and sensitive to the needs of the families.
Before Volunteers start in the Centre, they must provide two referees and undergo an AccessNI police check.
We have a coffee bar area where tea, coffee, soft drinks, fruit, toasted pancakes and sweets can be bought at reasonable prices. Table games, craft materials and xbox are also available.
The pool table is popular with children and parents. and we also have a carpeted room which is suitable for babies and toddlers.
A waiting room is available upstairs where those bringing children can wait while the children enjoy their contact downstairs. The parents/adults do not have to meet if they don’t want to.
For disability access we have a ramp to our front door and a disabled toilet.
Before a family uses the Centre a referral form must be completed along with a pre contact assessment.
The coordinator will contact the referrer to arrange for parents to visit the centre and to check the details about the contact arrangements. This gives the parents a chance to see around, and ask questions or raise any concerns they may have. It is particularly helpful if the children can come and see round the building before meeting with their contact parent/adult.
Resident and contact adults are required to sign a consent form which sets out the ground rules for use of the Centre. The Resident adult is also asked to sign a form giving consent for their child to receive basic First Aid if necessary or be taken for medical care in an emergency.
The Centre can also be used as a handover point where visits take place outside the Centre. This must be agreed between the parents or other relevant adults or be by court order.

Wednesday 3pm – 7pm
