We run a series of community safety campaigns and competitions throughout the year to highlight positive behaviour and raise awareness of simple ways we can all help make our lives safer.
From home security and road safety to online scams and neighbourhood resilience, our campaigns share useful tips, spotlight great local initiatives, and shine a light on the local companies that provide products and services that help keep people safe.
Each campaign comes with an online section filled with useful hints tips and guidance and is launched with a fantastic community competition - where people can enter to win products and support to help them make their lives safer.
Great online hints and tips!
