Now You See Me
Up-Cycling to Save Lives
Road traffic injuries are a major public health problem in the WHO European Region and cause the premature deaths of 120,000 people every year. They are the leading cause of death in children and young adults aged 5 to 29 years.

Up-Cycling takes on a whole new meaning!
Project 'Now You See Me' is launched
In partnership with our Ashford & New Romney Link & our NGO Source of Hope Ukraine, we have launched a new project which started with an idea on how we could re-use some donated Hi-Vis Jackets which were being thrown away due to an out of date company logo.
​
With children in towns and remote villages walking home from school in the dark, we saw a need to get them seen by drivers and help keep them safe, especially in the winter months.
​
This project costs us nothing, yet it is priceless!
How it Works
Donated Hi-Vis Jackets
We take old donated Hi-Vis jackets and cut the strips of florescent fabric from them to be used.
Making Sashes
Once we have the strips we sew them into different lengths to make sashes for Children, Parents and Pushchairs.
Now You See Me
Our aim is that every child is one step closer to being safe walking home in the dark.
We need your Support
We are looking for donations of Hi-Vis garments so that we can continue to improve the safety of the children in Ukraine.
​
It is our mission to see every child in the towns and villages in the Korosten & Borodyanka area wearing a 'Now You See Me' sash after dark. With your support we may even be able to expand this initiative into new regions and save the lives of children.
