Neighbourhood Watch Members: Invitation to over 60s 'Stay Safe' Day

An invitation to an older persons ‘Stay Safe’ Day.

 

The event is free and will be held next Thursday 2^nd October at The Culver Centre, Daiglen Drive, South Ockendon. The invite is open to all Thurrock residents aged 60 or over.

 

The day (10am -3.30pm) will involve a musical play by The Soloman Theatre Company. Although this is a very entertaining play, with a chance for a ‘sing-song’, there is a serious message behind it. It gives advice on scams and how to avoid being tricked.

 

The day is aimed at providing useful advice to residents, there will be a number of stands giving out helpful advice and there will also be talks by:

-           Essex Police – Home Safety , preventing burglary, Personal safety

-          Thurrock Trading Standards – Cold callers/rouge traders/distraction burglary

-          Essex County Fire & Rescue Service – Fire safety in the home

 

-          Plus other presentations on keeping yourself safe, including a section on Neighbourhood Watch.

 

There will also be a few useful Crime Prevention ‘giveaways’ and a free buffet lunch.

 

Please see the attached flyer for full details. Please feel free to pass this message onto any friends or neighbours who are 60 or over.

 

Best wishes
