Testimonials

HT St Mungos Primary School GG&C
“Excellent training opportunity, thank you so much. With the increasing number of children at school with asthma and allergies we really needed some training, support, and reassurance – this is exactly what teamAAF delivered and continues to support us if we need anything – invaluable”
HT St Mungos Primary School GG&C
"The workshop helped me understand the specific triggers for asthma and allergies. I feel better equipped to manage the children in my care”
Amy – resident GG&C
“I attended a breathing technique workshop delivered by one of AAF staff - Vicki at a recent event and the session was not only informative but having someone to take the time to listen was lovely. Everyone is always rushing and busy so with the team giving me the time to talk about my asthma and other things was just special”
10-year-old Sarah
"Thank you so much, teamAAF, for coming to our school! It makes me really happy that my friends understand how I feel when my asthma is acting up. Now they know how to help me, and that makes me feel better!"
8-year-old Laura
"I just wanted to say thank you the teamAAF, led by Vicki, for the presentation and the nice chat with our class! Now I know my teacher really understands how to help me, and why I should keep my inhaler in class instead of in the office. It makes me feel safe!"
Class Teacher Bargarran Primary School GG&C
“The team clearly presented and updated my knowledge. Well explained and will be extremely useful going forward”
Class teacher Darnley Primary School GG&C
“Giving people the understanding of how serious these are and what to do in that circumstance is so important” the team, led by Vicki explained everything in a very relaxed and friendly manner ensuring that the information was understood by all in attendance, thank you.”
Class Teacher St Marnocks Primary School GG&C
"According to feedback from the young people, what they appreciated most about the workshop was learning how to effectively assist someone experiencing an allergic reaction. They found it extremely helpful to understand how to use an EpiPen and, crucially, when to call 999. Many expressed that prior to this, they wouldn't have known how to respond, but now they feel significantly more prepared to help a friend or someone in need."
HT Bracoden Primary Aberdeenshire
"TeamAAF can engage pupils and staff so well despite it being online. They pitch their presentation very well and all our pupils P1-7 felt they had learned a lot."
Bridge of Don Academy Aberdeen
"TeamAAF delivered a highly informative workshop that engaged all pupils. Even though the class were quiet and hesitant to participate at first, they soon came round, they were really great with our young people, thank you."
Class teacher Strathburn School Aberdeenshire.
"TeamAAF are so personable and engaging with the children. Led by Pam, they had so many resources for them to explore and were patient with all their questioning too."
