Housebuilder donates hi-vis vests to help keep children safe

Children in hi-vis vests to promote safety campaign

MILLER Homes is on a mission to help make the streets safer for children in the west of Scotland this autumn as it celebrates six years of its Home Safe initiative.

In recognition of International Walk to School Month, the housebuilder is welcoming families along to six of its developments to collect high-visibility vests to help keep children visible on their journeys.

Since launching Home Safe in 2019, Miller Homes has worked with local schools across the west of Scotland, donating over 9,000 vests to support child pedestrian safety.

As daylight hours shorten and visibility on roads decrease, it can become more difficult for drivers to see pedestrians – especially young children.

Louise Caldwell, sales director for Miller Homes Scotland West, said, “Home Safe is a brilliant initiative that directly supports local nurseries and primary schools by keeping children bright and visible during the dark winter months. We hope that children can walk, cycle, or scoot to school more safely by wearing our high-vis vests, making them visible to drivers.”

Families can visit Miller Homes’ Sales Centres at the following developments to collect high-vis vests, open Thursday to Monday, 10:30am-5:30pm:

  • Constarry Gardens, Croy
  • Chapel Gardens, Dumbarton
  • Greenacres, Sauchie
  • Millerpark, Clydebank
  • Stoneyetts Village, Moodiesburn
  • Thornly Park, Paisley
