Over the summer, The Barnet Group’s Fire Safety team held fire safety awareness events at our estates that have high rise blocks of flats, working together and sponsored by our contractor WG Wigginton Ltd and supported by our supplier Aico.

On the day, residents could get involved in fire safety awareness activities, get giveaways and goodies, and get food from an ice cream van and a smoothie bike.

Alexandra Brooks, Social Value and Marketing Manager at WG Wigginton said “At Wigginton, we are proud to support initiatives that place resident safety at the heart of the community. Fire safety awareness is a vital message, and events like these not only provide valuable education but also create a fun and engaging way for families to get involved. We’re delighted to sponsor and be part of such an important cause.”

Angel McLennan, The Barnet Group’s Fire and Building Safety Resident Engagement Manager, said “It was a lovely turnout at last week’s fire safety resident engagement event. Big thanks to W G Wigginton and Aico for their support. Our residents got hands-on with fire safety tips, smoke alarm awareness, and e-bike/e-scooter safety.
