The Lifewise centre is a life-size film set of a small town which is used to deliver safety messages to the public. It is operated in a unique partnership between South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, South Yorkshire Police and South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.

The centre, in Hellaby, cost £215,000, with more than £200,000 in goods and services donated to the project by local businesses and the community.

It is home to members of the South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue (SYFR) and South Yorkshire Police community safety teams, allowing them to work in partnership under one roof.

The most popular safety programme is ‘Crucial Crew’, which is offered to all year six school pupils in South Yorkshire. The children participate in a variety of scenarios in different areas of the set. Specialist officers equip the children with the skills and knowledge to make choices in everyday life in order to stay safe and away from criminal activity.
