Call for

DEDICATED volunteers are calling on local residents to help keep the Berwick Safety House Committee going strong.
The organisation is celebrating 21 years of helping the community and needs a boost from interested volunteers to join its committee.
Safety houses are scattered throughout the local area and the Berwick group is hoping more people may be available to make their home an official Safety House.
Committee member Megan Vella said the group would hold its AGM next Thursday, 3 May.
Ms Vella said a Safety House is a place where any member of the community, including school children and the elderly, can go if in distress.
“If you are home more than 50 per cent of the time that children are in transit to and from school then please consider being a Safety House,” Ms Vella said.
She said Safety House monitors were also required with their role being extremely important in the safe running of the program.
“They must monitor every month their allocated zone of Safety Houses and surrounding streets to ensure that signs are not damaged or removed or placed on a letterbox of someone who is not a Safety House.”
