THIS WEEK the Wales Safer Communities Network will host the second annual Safer Communities Awards at Wrexham AFC.
The awards celebrate the work of projects, partnerships and people actively making communities safer across Wales. On Thursday 28 November community safety professionals will gather at the now famous Wrexham AFC to hear the winners of this year’s awards.
The awards will be hosted by TV presenter John-Paul Davies. Before his career in journalism John-Paul spent four years in the Police becoming the first Police Officer in twenty years from South Wales to gain a place on the Home Office Accelerated Scheme for Graduates.
The Awards Ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase the great work being undertaken across Wales to prevent, reduce and make communities safer in categories such as Anti-Social Behaviour, Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence and Modern Slavery and Exploitation.
Mark Brace, Head of the Wales Safer Communities Network said: “These awards provide a platform to showcase the variety of great work taking place across Wales to keep communities safe. They bring colleagues together to celebrate the individuals and innovative thinking that makes change happen.
“Football brings people together and holding the awards at Wrexham AFC helps to shine a light on the important part sport plays in community safety.”
The Network is overseen by the Safer Communities Board for Wales, which aims to ensure effective shared leadership is provided to support local partnership working that promotes safe, strong, confident communities.
