The Workers Memorial Foundation Provide free Defibrillator training courses for members of the public. The courses lasting 3 hours as well showing how to deploy and use of a defibrillator in an emergency situation also imparts life saving skills that stay with the student for a lifetime creating a safer community

The training is carried out by fully qualified instructors and on completion of the course each student is awarded a nationally recognised certificate of competence (TQUK level 2) valid for 3 years

HSAW Lectures

We also provide free lectures to schools and colleges about the importance of Health and Safety in the work place making the students aware of Health and safety legislation

By giving the students a taster of the legislation, this prepares them for life in industry and commerce giving them a head start when they go out into the workplace making for a safer working environment

Workers Memorial Day

Workers Memorial day is celebrated annually worldwide on the 28^th April

In St Helens, on the nearest Sunday to Workers Memorial Day, we hold a service of remembrance to commemorate and celebrate the lives of those who have died in accidents at work or who have died through industrial illness

Knowing you are not alone at a time of crisis helps with the grieving process, gives solace and helps with mental well-being,

Seeing someone have their life cut short from a work related illness, is a tragedy

Disasters are rightly acknowledged, but the individual stands alone

Those left behind were, in the past, a hidden community who suffered in silence long after the death of a loved one and went unrecognised and ignored by society in general

The Workers Cenotaph

The dedication and sacrifice that workers made and the suffering of those left behind, is now finally being recognised and commemorated.

We have created a monument, an outdoor space for contemplation and reflection surrounded by nature.  

A tribute to those individuals who have had their lives cut short

To further improve the area we have provided a public access defibrillator available 24/7/365

This has proved to be a challenging task due to the location.

Vandalism has been a problem, delaying the completion of the project by months. It has added well over a thousand pounds to the cost of the project, money we can ill afford to lose.

The defibrillator is now up and running and available for use in an emergency, lets hope it’s never needed

To keep the defibrillator rescue ready 24/7/365, comes with ongoing costs for which we are solely responsible. The cost of maintaining the monument also falls on us.

To keep providing defibrillator traing course we constantly need funding

If you could help, a donation would be gratefully received
