Kids Count youth board chairman Jinal said "We are pleased to add Kids Counts voice and become a partner in such an important campaign.
5by25 aims to help people learn to cook at least 5 dishes by the age of 25. It also helps young people to find recipes, pick up cooking skills and inform people how you can get involved and get cooking!
Basic cooking skills are an important like skill. Unfortuantely, many young people are leaving home today in their early 20s without these skills and the choice to cook.
5by25 is a campaign aimed at motivating and equipping the nation's youth to be able to prepare at least 5 meals from scratch by the age of 25.

Life Saving Campaign
Kids Count is very pleased to support the British Heart Foundations 'Life Saving' campaign. British Heart Foundation are currently campaigning for Emergeny Life Support (ELS) skills to be taught to every child in the UK. We want these skills taught to all children before they leave school. ELS includes learning what to do when someone's having a heart attack, has serious bleeding, choking, or is unconcious. Knowing what to do to help keep them alive until professional help arrives shoud be as important as learning how to read and write.
