Keeping Together

The simple wristband scheme aims to help local and visiting families stay safe and reassured when they visit Southend, letting you get on with having fun instead! Since the Scheme was launched in July 2013, over 100,000 bright yellow wristbands have been handed out to children and vulnerable adults.
