The ‘keeping you safe’ child safety wristband project will return to this year’s National Ploughing Championships.

Over 40,000 of the safety wristbands will be handed out at the event entrances by FBD staff, with space for a contact phone number, offering peace of mind should a child become separated from their group.

The National Ploughing Association (NPA) has reminded parents that all under 12s are free of charge once accompanied by a paying adult.

Anna May McHugh, managing director of the NPA, commented: “We are very pleased to continue our partnership with FBD on this vital child safety initiative. The wristbands have become a simple but highly effective tool in keeping families safe and together during the event. With the enormous crowds we welcome each year, they offer invaluable peace of mind to parents and guardians.”
