About Us

Hello, I am Zara Long the founder of First Aid Buddies.

After spending my youth as an international swimmer, I joined the London Fire Brigade. When I joined the emergency services, it was a hard choice between that and a career in teaching. My inner educator became restless as I began to spend more time working with young people in the community. To create a safer place for our young people I have developed educational schemes of work that address risk, safety and well-being.

First Aid Buddies delivers all accredited courses that any school or business requires for their legal compliance.

I really enjoy working with diverse groups and across industries. I firmly believe in learning being fun and interactive and I have many enjoyable activities that help to embed the learning across all courses or sessions. I build the confidence of learners to ensure they have the ability and belief to respond positively in an emergency.
