Free security checks are now available to people across Lambeth. A community project has been awarded Home Office funding to provide locksmiths and handy people to install security measures in homes that help improve security and help to prevent burglaries.

In recent months there has been a spike in robberies across the area and we encourage anyone who wants to make their home more secure to take part. The scheme is being run by Help the Aged/Age Concern (now Age UK), but it is available to people of all ages.

For more information, call the Clapham Park Project on freephone 0800 085 2378. The answer phone service will ask for your name, address and contact details. Someone should then call back to give you more details.

If you have any concerns about your safety, the Gipsy Hill Safer Neighbourhood Team are also available to help. CLICK HERE for more details.
