LifeVac antichoking device for childcare settings

Donation protected
Hi, we are Lewis and Zoe Steeper, proud parents of Oliver Keith Steeper.

In September 2021, our world became shattered following the death of our beautiful little boy Oliver (aged 9 months) who sadly choked on pasta and died a week later from catastrophic brain injuries caused by hypoxia following the choking episode. Shortly after we started the Oliver Steeper Foundation with the sole intention of providing LifeVac anti-choking devices free of charge into childcare settings, including training to use them.

  • Fundraising in memory of Oliver



In our son's name, we wish to fundraise as much as we can to enable us to purchase LifeVac devices that we can then gift into childcare settings starting with Kent, and then if funds allow continuing across the whole of the United Kingdom. 100% of all donations will be used to purchase devices, myself or Zoe will never take funds from the charity

We are now an official registered charity, under the registered charities number 1207047

  • About LifeVac

We came across LifeVac shortly after his death and thought what an amazing device this is and we strongly believe it would of helped Oliver stand a chance of still being here today. LifeVac is a regulated medical device and is licensed in the UK and around the world to be used by anyone in a choking emergency, including on children.

LifeVac is regulated by the MHRA, FDA, TGA, HPFB, MOH, SAHPRA and many more medical device regulatory bodies. LifeVac is also CE registered.

LifeVac is not a first aid device, it is a medical device to be used when first aid fails or cannot be performed. Backed by multiple peer-reviewed medical publications proving safety, effectiveness, lives saved, comparison studies and ease of use.

Medical device regulatory bodies are the bodies that control the use of medicines and medical devices within countries, in the UK this body is the MHRA. The MHRA say that LifeVac can be used on anyone and by anyone.

  • Can I purchase a LifeVac for home or workplace?

Absolutely! Head over to www.lifevac.uk and choose the version of LifeVac you wish (Travel kit, standard kit, wall mounted etc) and at the checkout, use discount code 'of10' which will give you a 10% discount and LifeVac will donate a small % back to the charity to help us fund more free devices.

Thankyou in advance for any donations made to help us on our mission in the memory of Oliver to supply these devices and hopefully save a childs life when BLS fails or cannot be performed.
