Shouting about carbon monoxide alarms

What is Project SHOUT?

Project SHOUT is a national campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and the importance of carbon monoxide alarms.

Our vision

Our vision is for everyone to be talking about the effects of carbon monoxide. We want people to know the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and the importance of regular maintenance on all fuel-burning appliances such as gas cookers, grills and boilers. We also encourage people to get their chimneys swept every year and to buy carbon monoxide alarms.

Why was Project SHOUT launched?

Project SHOUT was created after hearing Stacey Rodgers' story. It showed how much more needs to be done to make people aware of the life-threatening dangers of carbon monoxide, and of the low-cost solution that could save lives.

I’m proud to be part of Project SHOUT.

Robert Lyon, Campaign Director

We started Project SHOUT after hearing Stacey's story and realising that so much more needs to be done to make people aware of both the life-threatening dangers of CO and the low-cost solution that could save their lives.

The scary thing is that a lot of people still don't know about the dangers of carbon monoxide. Those who do often don't realise that even if you regularly service your appliances, keep chimneys swept and do all you can in your own home, CO can still come from adjoining properties.

The only sure way to protect yourself from this deadly gas is with a carbon monoxide alarm. They are easy to find and affordable, so there is no excuse for not taking action to protect your family today.

I hope Project SHOUT raises awareness and helps people see how easy it is to protect themselves.
