Celebrating 60 Years of Safety

As part of our 60th-anniversary celebrations, we're launching a special fundraiser to support our Early Start Programme. 

The impact of your donation can be profound. With your support, we can:

  • Provide Life-Saving IDs: Each donation helps cover the cost of MedicAlert IDs for children who need them, ensuring they are always protected.

  • Support Families in Need: Many families face financial barriers to accessing our services. Your generosity can help remove these barriers and provide essential safety measures for children.

  • Continue Our Mission: Every contribution allows us to further our mission of keeping everyone safe while continuing to innovate and improve our services.

Donate now and be a part of our journey towards a safer, more secure future for children everywhere. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make a difference!

The Early Start Programme

Our Early Start Programme, supported by Lions Clubs International, offers free MedicAlert membership and medical IDs to vulnerable children with medical conditions or allergies, protecting them until their 10th birthday.

How it works

The Lions Early Start Programme offers free annual membership for your child until their 10th birthday.

This membership includes a secure online record to store their medical information, such as conditions, allergies, medications, history, emergency contacts, scanned documents, and emergency directives.


Your child will also receive their first MedicAlert ID for free.

Choose from a selection of children's ID options. The  ID will be engraved with their vital information, unique membership number, and our 24/7 emergency helpline, allowing first responders to access their full medical record if needed.
