Safe Drive Stay Alive takes place this week at the Beach Ballroom
This week sees the return of the 'Safe Drive Stay Alive' event at the Beach Ballroom for fifth-year pupils across Aberdeen.
Director of the event, Helen McIntyre tells us what we can expect from the show:
The event, which is in its 12th year, aims to reduce the number of young people dying in crashes on roads in the North East.
The hard-hitting stage show features real-life testimony from members of the emergency services who regularly deal with road collisions, as well as members of the public whose lives have been affected by road collisions in an extreme and profound way.
The event features members from across the emergency services in the North-east.
Gary Gillespie and Scott Burnett from the Scottish Ambulance Service in Aberdeen, Lillian Shanks a Watch Manager with the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service in Inch and Derek Clark a Watch Manager in Portlethen tell us about their experiences with the show:
This year’s show will see 5,000 pupils from across the North-east see the show at Aberdeen’s Beach Ballrooom.
The event isn’t just for secondary pupils, on Wednesday evening the team will put on a public show at 7.15pm. Find out more on Facebook:
