On Thursday 5th of February, Warminster School will be hosting a Twilight Walk raising money and awareness for women’s safety and the charity Strut Safe, an organisation that provides a free UK-wide phone line for anyone, of any gender, walking home alone. A volunteer will be a friendly voice to keep you company and help you feel safe until you are through the door. They won’t judge or ask questions; they will simply be your torch to help you get home.
We will meet at St Boniface pitch from 6.30pm and set off on our walk through Warminster at 7pm. We will return to school to have, hot chocolate, cookies & a vigil honouring women and people who never returned from their walk or run. Everyone in attendance to wear denim and neon. Face paint & glowsticks will be provided.
A £5 registration fee is required per participant. In addition, participants are encouraged to raise sponsorship for the event. The event is open to pupils (Year 7 and above), staff, OVs, and their friends and family.
About Strut Safe
Strut Safe is a volunteer-operated and non-judgemental support line. We will stay on the phone with you until you arrive safely at your destination, no matter where you are going or where you have come from.
We stand in solidarity with marginalised people and are unaligned with the police. We provide kindness and reassurance to anyone who needs it during their travels.
Calling Strut Safe
Calls to Strut Safe can be made from anywhere in the UK and are almost always free, as they are included in phone packages with free minutes. If you do not have inclusive minutes, calls will be at the standard 03 rate for your mobile contract.
When you call Strut Safe, our automated system will transfer you to an available volunteer. Our volunteer will ask your name and location, then chat to you about whatever you want until you are safely through the door.
All of our volunteers go through a thorough interview and training process and they all hold valid Disclosure and Barring Service certificates.
If no volunteers are available when you call, you can choose to either leave a message or to hear a list of other phone lines that are open.
