At our most recent road safety event, we were joined by Saudi Aramco who came along to see pupils from Forehill Primary School in action. The children, all from primary 7, adopted the role of incident investigators; examining evidence at the scene of a mock-up road incident. Playing detective for the day taught pupils about what can cause road incidents in an interactive and fun way. By analysing the root cause of the incident the children also learned what they could do to avoid becoming a casualty on the roads.

After a year of working together, Saudi Aramco were delighted to finally be able to see Absafe in action and to see how their invaluable support of our charity enables fantastic projects like this one and many others to happen.  Absafe is proud to be working with Saudi Aramco to make a real difference to the safety of children in our community.

We are delighted to announce our fantastic new partnership with Premier Oil. As an organisation with safety as its number one priority, Premier Oil is an ideal ally in the campaign to save lives and promote safety education across the region. Not only has Premier Oil pledged money towards making The Safe a reality, they are also organising some fantastic fundraising activities in the community. Premier Oil staff will also be volunteering at many of Absafe’s projects like Safe Team, Get Safe for Work and Safe at Home.

Thanks to the pledge for The Safe and the commitment and enthusiasm of the people from Premier Oil, Absafe will be able to achieve so much more and reach many more people.  We’re excited about our partnership and we’re looking forward to working with everyone at Premier.
