A orange and purple swiggly graphic with the text: ‘Now from bus door to front door, First Bus have partnered with Strut Safe to help amplify our reach, getting our number (0333 335 0026) in as many phones as possible, for whenever anyone may need it. As part of its partnership, First Bus will showcase our phone number on over 500 on-board digital screens and posters across more than 2,200 buses in Scotland, Midlands, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, West of England and South-West of England. The details will also feature on the First Bus app, social channels and will be shared with First Bus’ existing customer database. Generous funding from First Bus will also mean that Strut Safe can extend our opening hours to a fourth night in the near future, allowing us to provide wider reassurance to passengers in need during their travels.’

Today is International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day is a reminder that the freedom of all marginalised genders is interdependent. Our ability to get from place to place without fear of violence is enabled by networks of community support.
