At LFA First Response, we’re passionate about supporting local schools so that all of our children can learn and grow in a safe and nurturing environment. For so many schools in Australia, fundraising plays an important role in making that possible.

As of August 2022, schools, sports clubs and other community groups can partner with LFA First Response to run a first aid kit fundraiser. Make great profits with our practical, value-adding first aid kits while bringing your community together and boosting awareness around first aid.
Why run a first aid kit fundraiser in Australia?
The best fundraisers help you bring in significant profits while giving students, parents and teachers alike the opportunity to rally around a common cause. First aid kits are a great fundraising option because they’re reliable sellers and highly practical, so you know you’re giving value to your supporters.
First aid kits are a healthy alternative to chocolate or lolly based fundraisers, and a great educational item for kids as well. Whether you’re a school community or sports club, first aid kit fundraisers are a great opportunity to raise awareness around health and safety in your community.
How much money can you raise with a first aid kit fundraiser?
Our first aid kit fundraiser is scalable for both large and small fundraisers, depending on your needs and target amount. Your school or organisation will receive 20% from each kit sold. How much money you raise in total is up to you. We recommend having a target amount in mind based on your fundraising goals. That way you can plan ahead how many kits you need to sell.

The importance of educating our children about first aid
Since the pandemic, we are all more aware than ever how important it is to feel safe and protected in our shared spaces. Boosting first aid knowledge and skills in your community goes a long way to help everyone feel safe and confident. Students, teachers and parents who are familiar with first aid skills are better able to prevent dangers, promote a safe environment and deal with emergencies with confidence.
A first aid kit fundraiser creates an ideal opportunity to strengthen students’ knowledge of how to look after each other at school, at home and in the public. It’s a great launching point for discussing with children what to do in the case of minor injuries as well as more serious situations. First aid literacy is important for all ages. Engaging with first aid kits for a fundraising program is a great way to introduce age-appropriate first aid skills for young children right through to adults.
