A long-running road safety show aimed at young people is looking for sponsors to help it continue in 2018.
Safe Drive Stay Alive has been attended by all senior school pupils in the North-east for 13 years.
The hard-hitting stage show features real life testimony from the emergency services who regularly deal with road collisions and from members of the public whose lives have been affected by road collisions in an extreme and profound way.
I have attended the show and it leaves a lasting impression.
Nexen Petroleum UK is the only confirmed sponsor of the 2018 show. Managing director Ray Riddoch said: “Safe Drive Stay Alive doesn’t pull any punches. The real-life testimonies of those affected is a moving and powerful way to drive home the importance of Safety First on our roads. We would wholeheartedly encourage more local businesses to get involved.”
This year’s show in November will see another 5,000 pupils from Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray attend in the city. A free evening show for the public is also held.
Safe Drive Stay Alive Grampian is a partnership between Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, Moray Council, Police Scotland, Scottish Ambulance Service, NHS Grampian and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
