Stronger together: summer progress and autumn plans for Our Safer City<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Launched by the City of London Crime Prevention Association in November 2023, the Prevent Violence against Women and Girls and Domestic Abuse consortium \u2013\u00a0 Our Safer City \u2013 continues to build momentum, partnership, and impact across the Square Mile. \u00a0Here we share key highlights from the summer and upcoming plans for autumn:<\/em><\/p>\n

Summer in Review <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Listening to Women and Girls<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The consortium launched its third survey to understand the experiences of women and girls in the City of London. Previous feedback \u00a0led to the introduction of initiatives such as Taxi Marshalling and Safe Havens.<\/p>\n

Each response guides concrete improvements; if you haven\u2019t responded or know someone who hasn\u2019t, please take a moment to contribute and share the survey link: Our Safer City survey<\/a><\/p>\n

Taxi Marshalling Impact<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To date, Taxi Marshalling at Liverpool Street has facilitated 31,566 journeys with 57,295 passengers, of whom over half were women. Notably, more than 9,300 solo female journeys were supported \u2013 ensuring reliable, safe travel options during Thursday, Friday and Saturday late evenings.<\/p>\n

Fundraising success<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A standout event this summer was the CSSC Fundraising Dinner at 1 Lombard Street, supporting Our Safer City and Cross-sector Safety & Security Communications (CSSC).<\/p>\n

Attendees from public and private sectors, industry, and law enforcement joined together for an evening of connection and generosity, raising \u00a325,000 through a charity auction, raffle, and dinner. The event, introduced by Don Randall MBE\u00a0 demonstrated strong support for prioritising safety across the City \u2013 thank you to everyone involved.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead: Autumn Initiatives <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Training and Events<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Upcoming training sessions cover consent, workplace harassment, and domestic abuse awareness, delivered in partnership with The Skills Network and Solace. In-person opportunities include a special event in November: Our Safer City \u2013 Shaping Safe Workplaces \u2013 and a House of Lords roundtable discussion.<\/p>\n

The full programme will be launched soon on the website Our Safer City <\/a>and on Our Safer City LinkedIn page<\/a><\/p>\n

16 Days of Action<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This autumn, Our Safer City joins forces with City of London Police, City of London Corporation, Solace, and EIDA to support the international \u201c16 Days of Action against Violence against Women and Girls\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n

Activities will focus on raising awareness and providing practical, accessible training.<\/p>\n
