Many enjoy the warmers days but it is important to enjoy safely.

It can takes seconds for someone to drown in as little as 2cm of water.

Keep an eye on those in paddling pools, empty after use and turn upside down 🌞

Brighter days mean more bikers on our roads—let’s keep everyone safe.

Before you pull out, overtake, or turn, THINK BIKE. That extra second to look could save a life.

The hot temperatures this week can already make life uncomfortable for our dog companions.

PLEASE reconsider taking them on car journeys if possible.

Dogs do die in hot cars

We all have a right to enjoy open public spaces safely.

With the lighter nights now here, please be considerate of others when out and about. Be mindful of your language, dispose of litter properly, and respect the space we share.

Lets keep public areas safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone. Please also be respectful when consuming alcohol in public and remember that illegal substances can make others feel unsafe

If you have any concerns, it isn't being nosey or speaking out of turn.

FREEVA can provide you with advice. We can ALL play a part in protecting victims of abuse.

Even on the warmest days, our rivers and lakes stay surprisingly cold. That shock can hit your body hard — making it suddenly difficult to swim or even breathe properly.

If you’re getting into the water, don’t jump in. Take it slow, give your body time to adjust, and stay in control.
And if you ever accidentally fall in:
➡️ Fight the urge to panic
➡️ Tilt your head back
➡️ Spread your arms and legs
➡️ Float… breathe… and regain control

Speed contributes to more than half of all fatal traffic collisions in Britain.

Even slight speeding on our rural roads can have significant repercussions.

The consequences can be devasting.

Holiday fraud is when a criminal impersonates a trusted website or creates fake adverts in the hopes that you’ll book your holiday through them. They’ll most likely advertise offers at lower than usual prices and apply pressure for you to pay quickly before the offer expires.
