Safe and Sound is currently working on a number of projects to raise awareness of Bogus Callers, Rogue Traders and Scams. The Group have recently organised the performances of Trickster and Scambusters plays which attracted audiences across the county during May. These musical plays are performed by The Solomon Theatre Company, a group of professional actors and the events were attended by representatives from the Police, Trading Standards, the Pension Service and Age Concern to answer queries after the shows.

Trickster -
This musical is punctuated with songs to familiar tunes and tells the story of how a proud war veteran became the victim of Distraction Burglary. This energetic live story-telling event blends information, entertainment and humour. Trickster achieves its goal of raising awareness and building confidence without raising the fear of crime and is organised in partnership with Police Forces, Trading Standards and Age Concern.

Scambusters -

Based on true stories, meet Sydney the victim of a rogue Tarmac Tradesman and Mary who thinks she’s won the holiday of a lifetime ….. A cast of three professional actors present an energetic live story-telling event with music from the 60’s. Guaranteed to entertain and amuse, the key safety messages come through loud and clear. This show is developed through co-operation with Trading Standards, Police Forces and Community Safety Officers.
