β‘ Winter Vigilance Week Brings Safety Skills to the Culture Mile
π As winter approached and darker evenings set in, the Culture Mile sharpened its focus on Safety and Security β joining forces with Fleet Street Quarter BID to deliver a successful Winter Vigilance Week.
π The week-long initiative empowered local businesses and workers with practical skills to stay safe during the colder months. Participants joined expert-led webinars on avoiding festive-season scams, boosting situational awareness, and understanding criminal behaviour, alongside our always-popular hands-on personal safety classes.
π More than 70 people took part in sessions throughout the week, sharing enthusiastic feedback:
π¬ βThank you so much for putting this on β itβs ideal to learn self-defence techniques in a real-world environment outside rather than tucked away in a classroom.β
π¬ βThe talk today really changed the way I think when travelling in London and how to be safer β especially with my phone. Thank you!β
π€ Winter Vigilance Week was delivered with the support of City of London Police, Barclays, Everyday Self Defence, CIS Security and KB Fitness.
