Since the last update in October 2010 the following information has now become available.

The launch of the WCSP Christmas Campaign
Throughout November and December members of WCSP will be working to ensure that residents and visitors have a joyful Christmas; providing safety advice to help prevent people from becoming victims of crime and reminding people of the negative impact that alcohol can have on the lives of families, friends and colleagues when taken in excess. For more details please see the campaigns section.

In the last bulletin we offered partners the opportunity to provide us with a summary and a link to their web sites. Thank you to all those organisations who have already provided their details, however we need more of you to submit your details to us in order to make the information provided as broad as possible.  Please contact Sarah Drinkwater at sdrinkwater@winchester.gov.uk with a short summary of the service you provide and the link to your web site if you wish to take this offer up.
