Female Personal Safety Walk at The People's Park Ballymena
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council’s popular Female Personal Safety Walks are returning this autumn.
Run by the Parks and Open Spaces Development team, the event takes place on Thursday, September 24 from 6:00pm-7:30pm at The People’s Park, Ballymena.
Participants are invited to join the team and PSNI officers for a short, relaxed walk around the local area. “We’ll chat about any concerns you may have and share practical tips to help you feel safer and more comfortable when you’re out and about,” read a post on the group’s social media page.
"It’s an informal opportunity to walk, talk, ask questions and learn together in a friendly environment.”
Spaces can be booked through eventbrite through the MEA Outdoors page on Facebook.
With darker evenings approaching, the initiative aims to help those taking part feel more confident outdoors. “Whether you’re a regular walker or just want to come along and have a chat, everyone is welcome,” the post added.
