We attended at Waverley Train Station, Edinburgh today to team up with colleagues from British Transport Police Scotland, Officers from Police Scotland Edinburgh Prevention, Intervention and Partnerships, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, and City of Edinburgh Council staff who were able to provide helpful information and advice to commuters and staff on various topics, including home, vehicle security, scams and Fire Safety.
Staff from City of Edinburgh Council also provided information about Lightning Reach, which is a free online portal that helps you find and apply for different types of financial support in one place, quickly and safely. For more information go to Lightning Reach – The City of Edinburgh Council
