Saving young lives since 1982.
Life Smart Kids is Life Ed Vic's fundraising arm and we pioneer in prevention strategies in health + wellbeing education.
Working on the streets of Kings Cross through the Wayside Chapel, our founder the late Ted Noffs witnessed young lives devastated by drugs and alcohol on a daily basis.
This experience convinced him that Australia needed a national health + wellbeing education program to empower children to make safer and healthier life choices.
