On Friday 25 September, local residents, community groups and organisations will come together at Victoria Park, Widnes for this year's Reclaim the Night event, raising awareness of women's safety and the importance of creating safer public spaces for everyone.

The event begins at the bandstand with a group warm-up, followed by a walk around the park and a series of inspiring speeches.

At Halton Housing, we're committed to working with partners and residents to help create communities where people feel safe, supported and connected.

If you'd like to take part, we'd encourage you to join the walk and show your support.
