As the days get shorter and darker, children walking to and from school face increased risks on the roads. Visibility is key to safety- and that’s where our Street Wise owl comes in.
Your local Howden branch is giving away free owl reflector stickers to help children stand out in low light. These fun, stick-on companions are designed to make kids more visible to drivers, especially during the busy school run. They come in a range of colours so children can choose their own.
Why it matters:
According to the 2024 Reported Road Casualties in Great Britain*:
- Over 19,000 pedestrians were injured last year.
- Children aged 16 and under accounted for 11% of all casualties.
- Most incidents happen during morning and evening hours when children are commuting.
Let’s make sure our children aren’t part of these statistics.
Road Safety Week runs 16th – 22nd November, let’s make some noise. Pop in and pick up your children’s stickers from 16th November.
