Story
The #Kidsinvis initiative is a simple one – ‘to get kids in vis’ on their way to & from school in the mornings & afternoons.
After a recent fatality involving a 5 year old boy crossing a road near his home, this initiative came about with a wholly positive reaction from our community to a simple gesture by one business.
A promise was made to supply 90 high visibility vests to a local school for reception & year 1 children aged 4-6 years old to wear to & from school. This was then increased to 120 & with the support of other local business 500.
We then received the added support of Dorset Police, Dorset & Wiltshire Fire Service, Wave 105 Radio, Bournemouth Daily Echo, BBC News & BBC Solent Radio by 03rd January the donations of vis vests was at 1,600+!
We now have numerous schools on board & more are looking to adopt this initiative, which is simple! Lets get KIDSINVIS.
We need more help, support & donations to make this a real cause with a real effect. Our Facebook page @kidsinvis

Great idea. Children in dark coats are so difficult to see in the early mornings and evenings!

My names Mike, I'm the founder of #Kidsinvis. I'm a local Bournemouth Plumber with a wife & two kids aged 3 & 4. A recent fatality involving a 5 year old boy made me realise how vulnerable our kids are on their way to school & on their way home. So I did something about it.
