The Lucie Blackman Trust

So much to blog about this week and so little time...

I am always interested in personal safety issues for women - I have a whole chapter in my book dedicated to this subject and I pricked up my ears this morning when I heard about The Lucie Blackman Trust on GMTV. Briefly, Lucie Blackman was killed in 2000 after her drink was spiked. Her father and sister set up The Lucie Blackman Trust in her memory to educate women on personal safety issues.

First of all , please visit the website and tell your female friends, colleagues and family members about it. The party season is about to start for many of us and the need to keep ourselves safe should be uppermost in our minds when we are planning a night out.

Secondly, if you are looking for a Christmas gift for a female of any age, you may want to take a look at their Lucie Blackman Trident alarm which looks excellent. Here's the description, direct from the website:

LUCIE BLACKMAN TRIDENT ALARM:

Branded especially for the Lucie Blackman Trust, this personal attack alarm is different from most as it has three functions.

When activated it emits an ear piercing 138 decibel screech that will draw everyone's attention, and help repel an attack.

If also sprayed directly at an attacker, they become coated in a foul smelling substance, and an invisible ultra violet identifier.

Multiples of 1 @ £11.50 each inc. p&p - Qty Multiples of 5 @ £50.00 inc p&p - Qty
