What is it all about?: I set up the campaign in May 2010 after seeing too many children travelling without proper restraint in the back of cars. I have 2 children and would never put them at risk by not buckling them up. My belief is that there should be a 3 way approach to make a change and that is:
1) Have the seatbelt law introduced for anyone travelling in the back of a vehicle 2) Proper enforcement of the law 3) Continued educational awareness in schools and nurseries to explain the reasoning behind Buckle Up.
There is no single company behind Buckle Up - the message needs to be spread as far as possible. This is a completely non-profit awareness campaign which relies on supporters for promotional materials. Buckle Up is something I do for free in my spare time so do please bear with me if I don't answer calls or emails immediately.
Please do join the campaign on Facebook. Have a look at the work Buckle Up does in schools and nurseries, browse the photo albums and see who supports the campaign - together, we CAN make a difference! Lesley Cully, Founder
