Summer Safety Tips for Kids

Birmingham’s award-winning charity The Conies has launched a bold new summer safety campaign called “Stay Safe in the Sunshine,” timed with Child Safety Week and designed to keep kids safe outdoors as temperatures rise. Following tragic drownings in open water during the recent heatwave, The Conies—recently honored with a King’s Award for Voluntary Service—are distributing a free, downloadable poster featuring their beloved cartoon characters, packed with kid-friendly tips on avoiding hot surfaces, staying hydrated, and staying away from deep or fast-moving water. Founder Fay Goodman warns that even calm-looking open water can be deadly, emphasizing the urgent need for clear, accessible safety education. Beyond this poster, The Conies’ proven programs—including “Conies Safe Explorers” and a road safety course that’s reached over 300,000 kids—show their impact, but they’re now seeking a corporate partner to help scale their vital, free resources for families and schools nationwide.
