SOS - Community Safety Expo
S.O.S - Save Our SELVES, Save Our STUFF, Save Our SANITY, Save Our SUBURB
Dear Citizens of the Brighton beaches and beyond
For those of you who follow this page, you will be well aware of the recent crime being committed upon good hardworking folks. With that (and a lot more) in mind, a group of us have set up an idea to have a "S.O.S Expo"
The purpose of the SOS Expo is to empower the citizens of the shore suburbs with knowledge on how to take care of your property, personal safety and mental health.
We aim to provide an event in which you can come and learn from experts in their areas about these important topic, as well as fostering a much needed community spirit.
We plan on this happening on March 9th, at New Brighton School from 11am to 3pm
Get information from the Police Service, Fire & Emergency, Neighbourhood Support, Civil Defence, CCC - CPTED, AMI Insurance, FBI Security, Community Patrols, St Johns, Aged Concern and more
Learn some Self Defence in one of the workshops, watch a demonstration on how the online camera apps work, or teach your family about email scams
Our goal is to get all those listed to physically attend - however those who cannot, we aim to provide information on behalf of
Watch for flyers and posters with more information - coming soon.
P.S - PLEASE get in touch if this is something you can help us with! Either as a volunteer or a contributor! We are looking for children's entertainment, food trucks, and music
