Stay Safe & Strut Safe - a message from Claire Tack

 


Have you ever travelled home alone and felt unsafe or threatened?  Well, there is a new organisation which aims to be at the end of the phone to give reassurance whilst you journey home. 
 
Strut Safe was founded following the murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021.  Volunteers based across the UK are ready to take your call and stay on the line until you reach your front door.  
 
The volunteers are not mental health professionals or advisors in any capacity, but they can help direct you to more specialised services.  Their phone lines are open Friday and Saturday from 7pm-3am and Sunday from 7pm-1am.  So, be sure to store Strut Safe's telephone number in your phone - 0333 335 0026, it's a free service.
