Businesses and other organisations play a vital part in protecting and nurturing the communities in which they operate and the award-winning LV Streetwise Safety Centre has huge potential for this by helping to reduce the number of preventable accidents, saving lives and promoting partnership working in our communities. 

How can we help each other?

Many of these ways may be servicing needs which are already an integral part of the way your business is run - simply involving a switch of venue or provider, such as the hire of our conference room or offering our commercial training courses to your staff.

• Commercial Training - book your Health and Safety Courses – First Aid, Fire Safety, Manual Handling, Personal Safety
• Hire the Conference Room or the Centre
• Volunteering - promotion of volunteering, staff time off for volunteering, secondments
• Sponsor a scenario, ‘office window’ or ‘shop front’ from £1,000 to £10,000 + vat.
• Sponsor an advertisement in an external publication
• Book a Murder Mystery Evening - a unique team building opportunity!
• Make a donation
• Provide in kind support (materials, professional advice etc)
• Bulk mailing or photo copying

We do need your help because not only is supporting a charity a two-way commitment with everyone gaining - see Benefits for your Business below - but because we must work together to secure the long-term future of the charity and continue to develop to help save children's lives.

Everyone involved with LV Streetwise (click here for Supporters Page) recognises the true value of collaboration and the very existence of the centre is a tribute to all the individuals and organisations that have contributed to it to date. The long-term support demonstrated by the emergency services, statutory authorities and other businesses and charitable organisations shows their commitment to the project.

And everyone proudly shares in the successes – from the fanfare of the regional, national and European awards to the sure and certain knowledge that more of our children will be safe and well because of something learned at LV Streetwise. 

So if you have a corporate social responsibility strategy or are considering selecting a charity to support – in whatever way, I sincerely hope that you will consider LV Streetwise as both a worthy cause and a unique business proposition. The only limit is your imagination.

LV Streetwise Manager
