Who are we?
Safety Central is Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service’s safety and lifeskills education centre, located at Lymm near Warrington. Specially designed to be stimulating and totally immersive, Safety Central comprises four interactive learning zones – including a mini shop, cyber room, a full-sized house, an urban street-scene and a country lane. It is a striking circular building and shares the site with an operational fire station and unique rope rescue training facility. Programmes: Programmes at the centre cover a range of safety and lifeskills topics including fire safety, road safety, water safety, anti-social behaviour, cyber bullying and healthy lifestyles. There are 4 main programmes catering for a wide range of age groups:
Staffing Structure: We have a full-time centre manager and three education officers who look after the smooth running of the centre including developing programmes, managing bookings, co-ordinating volunteers and much more. The team is supported by volunteer rangers who deliver many of our hands-on activities. Funding/Governance: Safety Central’s running costs are covered in full by Cheshire Fire Authority and it operates as part of Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service’s well-established Prevention Department, which also manages home safety outreach work, road safety education and a range of programmes for children and young people. Our volunteer programme is also supported by a grant from SP Energy. Any other facilities? Safety Central’s multi-function space including meeting room is available to groups and partners within Cheshire, Halton and Warrington who also deliver against the health, safety and well-being agenda.
