A Manchester funeral home is the latest supporter of an awareness-raising initiative to encourage children to be safe on the roads.

Co-op Funeralcare on Manchester Road, has donated high visibility reflective armbands to Co-op Academy Medlock as part of the organisation’s Be Safe, Be Seen scheme.

The scheme sees funeral homes across the country educate youngsters about staying safe in the darker months.

David Noble, Funeral Director at Co-op Funeralcare Droylsden, said: "We’re delighted to be working with Co-op Academy Medlock as part of Co-op’s Be Safe, Be Seen initiative.

"Road safety is incredibly important, especially during the winter months when visibility is reduced for drivers on the road, which is why we’re keen to ensure the children of Manchester are educated on how to keep themselves as safe as possible."

In 2024 more than 50 Co-op Funeralcare homes have taken part with more than 4,500 armbands donated.
