Trick or Treating fun around the shops
 The second of our Safer Streets events saw children and young people enjoying trick or treating around The Pentagon Shopping Centre in Chatham.
Participants crafted a goblet and then followed clues leading them around participating shops, where they collected stamps and received stickers and goodies to fill up their goblet. Once their card was filled, they got to visit the Scare Zone for a photo, which was shared in the Scare and Share competition gallery.
The children and young people attending also received a book from Child-Friendly Medway as part of the 'For the Love of Reading' campaign which encourages young people to read more.
This was the latest in a series of monthly events we are organising across Medway covering Luton, Chatham and Rochester, using funding secured from the Home Office’s Safer Streets Fund.
Future events include Christmas activities, a Grimm's fairy tales theatre workshop, a World Book Day celebration, an Easter-themed family event and lots more creative workshops - all running until August 2023.
The funding for this series of events is part of more than £200,000 the Medway Taskforce and Kent Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott secured to continue the Safer Streets work in Medway and other projects including bystander training, replacing bins and improving CCTV.
