Bike to School Week

Did you know that next week 26 - 30 April is Bike to School Week which is an excellent way to get youngsters on their bikes. There are so many benefits for children from cycling to school, not only are they fitter, they are more alert at school and making the most of this fine weather. Whilst many parents may be concerned about the safety aspect of children cycling to school, if you don some highvis gear, be it a waistcoat, or reflector or sash, then they have more chance of being spotted by motorists.

So why not give us a call or check out the website Brightkidz.co.uk to get some promotional items to make your Bike to School Week go with a swing.

St Patricks Day

As today is St Patrick's day why not wear something green? Here at Brightkidz we have plenty of eye catching items so you too can have the luck of the Irish. How about a high viz waistcoat for when you are going to and from your St Patrick's day event!

What a busy week ahead! On Thursday I will be heading off to the Footsey social enterprise trade fair in Doncaster www.footsey.org.uk, where there will hopefully be lots of fellow social enterprise organisations attending. I am looking forward to seeing how our eco range is received and if any of our other promotional items make an impact.

I will return just in time for the children to break up for half term. I'm really looking forward to getting out and about this half term with the children, be it in a park or just riding the bikes. As such I often find it much easier to spot the children if they are wearing a high visability waistcoat or some reflective clothing.

Interesting fact for the day - did you know it is Tyre Safety Month and you can carry out your own tyre check by inserting a 20p. into the tyre tread, for more information why not check out their website www.tyresafe.org/tyre-safety-month/introduction/. Whilst you are checking out the tyres, also make sure that your car has all the essentials should you break down including some reflective clothing to be seen at all times.
