provide services relating to community safety to local communities and
groups. Our work includes, fire prevention, issues relating to anti-social
behaviour e.g firesetting, community resilience / emergency planning and
driving safely. We provide advice and expertise, make grants to local
groups and organisations in need, raise funding, assist other groups to
raise funding and help to train and educate young people and others. We
work in partnership with community organisations, members of the
community (including the most disadvantaged) and with other services
such as the Police and Ambulance Service.
Public Benefit
Our work helps communities, individuals and those who are most
vulnerable to live more safely. Through training and education, we
improve knowledge, develop skills and help change behaviour about a
wide range of community safety issues e.g. fire, road safety, and
flooding. Our fundraising and grant making activities provide community
organisations and groups (particularly the most disadvantaged) additional
resources to enable them to become more resilient and better able to
respond to local needs and issues.

Section D Achievements and performance

SAFE South West was established in August 2013 to work with local communities, Summary of the main Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS) and other Emergency achievements of the charity Services around issues of community safety. during the year During 2024 / 25 the charity has continued with work regarding community resilience, home safety equipment and water safety. A new project Mental Health Support Benches was started and has developed well.

Mental Health Support Benches

This is a project being developed by SAFE South West following an approach from a Fire Fighter. It involves creating benches / signage to help those with mental health issues, by providing easy access to a range of information and support.

Progress

The project has good support and input from the leads for mental health and wellbeing in Somerset, Devon, Plymouth, Torbay and hopefully Cornwall all wish to take part, District Councillors, the Samaritans, SHOUT and Experts by Experience volunteering with Open Mental Health. The original concept of benches at high-risk locations came from a fire fighter in Barnstaple and has been retained but broadened to include locations where those needing a quiet space / in distress might go or where there are higher than average mental health issues.

The mental health support benches will have a plaque along the back with a QR code / URL (for access by those without a Smart phone) leading to a link tree with range of information and organisations providing support, together with a message saying if life is in danger phone 999. The QR code content varies slightly in each county reflecting local services and has been finalised with input from specialists in this field and from Experts by Experience. The message Come Sit With Us will be engraved along the back of the bench. One arm of the bench will have a Samaritans plaque the other a plaque from SHOUT, a text-based organisation for those who do not wish to make a phone call. The Samaritans and SHOUT have specially designed the plaques to be small enough to fit the arms of a bench / the seat and are fixed with one way security screws.

The benches are made from recycled plastic in light green, good for the environment and require no maintenance. In some areas, we will look to create new small planted tranquil areas for a bench to be located. In other places where there are already benches the plaques can be easily attached to the back, arms, or seat.

In partnership with DSFRS and the Fire Fighters Charity, work is underway to adapt the project for use at Fire Stations in Devon and Somerset

The first bench was opened in Vivary Park Taunton and have now been installed at the Bath and West Showground, on Glastonbury High Street, Bakers Park Newton Abbott and two benches have been delivered to Barnstaple. We have in principle agreement to instal benches at the O Bridge in Taunton, the Tamar Bridge and in Burnham-on-Sea. Plaques have been fitted to existing benches in Yeovil, Glastonbury, Bridgwater (Blake Gardens and Cranleigh Gardens) Watchet, Bovey Tracey, The Bishops Palace Wells, to a bench in the foyer of Bridgwater Library (made by Bridgwater Men’s Shed) and to a bench in foyer of Taunton Library.

Section D Achievements and performance

Community Resilience

In 24/25, SAFE South West continued to administer the Somerset Prepared grant fund – previously known as The Community Resilience In Somerset Partnership (CRISP) grant fund. The fund provides small grants to communities in Somerset to help enable them to be more resilient in the event of an emergency e.g. flooding

Emergencies can happen and the emergency services will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger. There will be times when a community may affected by an emergency but lives are not in immediate danger. During this time, individuals and communities may need to rely on their own resources to ensure they are able to cope with the consequences of the emergency.

Many communities already spontaneously help one another in times of need, but experience has shown that those who have spent time planning and preparing for this are better able to cope, and recover more quickly

In Somerset a number of agencies and authorities e.g. Somerset County Council, DSFRS, Police, Environment Agency etc have come together as Somerset Prepared to help communities plan and prepare. They provide a range of help and advice including help in writing an emergency plan, advice on specific risks and hazards, case studies & contacts in other communities who have made themselves resilient and in addition provide small grants to help with the costs of items that help increase the resilience of the community.

The grant fund is primarily intended to help with the costs of small capital items and equipment e.g. boots, protective clothing, sandbags and sandbag hoppers, radios, snow shovels, equipment sheds and defibrillators. However, it is appreciated that it is also important that members of the community who are helping in a time of emergency are well trained. Grant aid can therefore be provided towards training costs. During 24/25 grants totalling £13,191 were awarded to 6 local community groups. help with the costs of a variety of equipment including hyro snakes / snakes, inflatable sandbags, hi viz PPE, torches, walkie talkies etc, a drain camera, emergency evacuation kits and defibrillators.

Safer Homes

During 24 / 25 SAFE South West continued to support the Safer Homes project in partnership with Somerset County Council, Public Health, Barnardos, Plymouth City Council and DSFRS. The project provides and fits a range of Home Safety Equipment for vulnerable families with young children in Somerset. The equipment includes Stairgates, Fireguards, window restrictors, cupboard locks, corner cushions, draw cord shortners and bath mats. The project also enables the families to receive a free Home Safety Visit from DSFRS which includes the fitting of smoke alarms and other equipment and advice on a range of issues such as smoking, cooking, heating and escape plans.

Mindfulness Gardens at Fire Stations

A Mindfulness Garden at a fire station is created by the Fighters in their own time and makes a real difference to both the Firefighters and the environment providing a space for staff to reflect and relax. SAFE provided funding for a new

Water Safety

Working with staff from Community Safety and local Town / Parish Councils, the need for 3 Throwline Boards along the river at Langport was identified. This is an area with high recreational use and where unsecured life belts are often stolen / removed. The cost of providing the lifesaving throwlines was shared between SAFE and the Town Council.

SAFE South West – staff small grants

Two small grants were made to staff / retired staff traveling to Nepal later this year to continue the valuable work of delivering variety of Fire safety related training.

Kingsbridge District Light Railway

The Road Safety sign at the Railway Station has been redesigned and erected thanks to funding from SAFE, helping to get the message about not using a phone whilst driving across to local and holidays in a light-hearted but effective manner.
