IMMS boost to KISS campaign
T
he Miss West Lothian campaign to make the streets of West Lothian safer for women has taken a giant leap forward. For an Edinburgh company IMMS (Integrated Monitoring and Maintenance Services) has donated 100 personal safety alarms to the girls’ KISS (Keep It Safe and Sound Campaign). And the company has also provided the girls with another 400 alarms at cost price, which will be paid for by their fundraising The girls’ launched the campaign after being inspired by a personal
safety talk given by a police officer during the launch of Miss West Lothian 2012. The personal safety alarms will be distributed via local nightclubs, community centres and pensioner groups. Co-organiser of the Miss West
Lothian event, Claire Molloy, said: “West Lothian is a safe place to live but there has been a number
of incidents recently involving attacks on young women. “Our alarms are available to women of any age in West Lothian, who might feel vulnerable. For example, women living alone, elderly women, women walking to work or women going for a late night out.” Some Miss West Lothian contestants travelled through to South Queensferry in a limousine, courtesy of AK Limos, to pick up 500 alarms from IMMS company secretary Marion Carlin and Alex Gunn, IMMS company secretarial assistant.
