Friends of Safer are putting together a relay team of enthusiastic walkers for the Saffery Rotary Round the Island Walk 2017.
On 3rd June (in 23 days time as I write this post) the epic round the island walk will commence at 4:30am at The White Hart, Weighbridge. There will be 7 checkpoints with a total distance of 38.5 miles.
We are looking for walkers to join our team! Here are the route details:
The Safer Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday 2nd April was deemed a huge success. Lots of children with Mums and Dads combed the beautiful gardens of Government House looking for Easter Eggs in the glorious sunshine.
Friends of Safer were delighted to be offered the Government House gardens by Sir Ian and Lady Corder. It was a perfect venue for an Easter Egg Hunt so we hope to be back there next year.
We would like to thank all our volunteers who helped make this happen. Here are some of the days highlights.
We are always looking for volunteers,
Friends of Safer were out in force to support the Guernsey Teenage Cancer Trust and the Hub at the Fashion Show at this weekend.
It was a terrific event with The Kings rock band as the finale. The models were superb with their cat walk debuts and the clothing lines were fabulous.
Find out more about the Teenage Cancer Trust and The Hub Guernsey.
Here are some of the highlights from the Teenage Cancer Trust fashion show.
Our group of volunteers thoroughly enjoyed this event and look forward to next year and other events raising money for charity.
The New Year is well underway now and Safer staff and volunteers are as busy as ever. We are all very much looking forward to getting the chance to put on our glad rags and dancing shoes to enjoy a exciting evening of food, fun and dancing at the All You Need is Love Ball at St Pierre Park Hotel on Friday 3rd February. We can squeeze in a couple more tables if you’d like to join us to raise money for domestic abuse services. Email events@safer.gg to reserve your table. See you there!

The Duke of Richmond Hotel is hosting a Halloween Ball and rather spookily they have said they will donate £10 to everyone who books a ticket and mentions “Friends of Safer”!
It’s almost Halloween so why not make your Halloween party this year into a spook-tacular occasion with us. We have an evening full of tricks and treats. You will be welcomed with a Bloody Vampire Punch followed by a three-course dining experience including phantom pan roasted fillet, creepy confit and Barbary duck leg.

This year the popular Walk a Mile in Their Shoes has been expanded and incorporated into the 16 Days of Action. The walk will start at Salerie Carpark, as usual, but this year we are being more inclusive, letting women and girls join in.
We also want to challenge you a bit more so have included the Walk a Mile in Their Shoes as a group walk for everyone entered into the 16 Days of Action. This group event starts at 10 am at the Salarie carpark and will finish at Castle Cornet on Saturday 26th November 2016.
Walk a mile every day or up to 16 miles in one day and get into action to raise money for Safer, the Bailiwick’s domestic abuse charity.
We are looking for teams and individuals of any age or gender to enter this event. You could be a team of work colleagues, deputies, school mates, friends, family, or a team from your club or church, etc. You do not have to be in a team…you can go it alone to shed some pounds before Christmas and raise some pounds for Safer at the same time!
