A global security firm have pledged their support to a local charity. Securitas, which provides security in over 50 countries worldwide, has offered support to St Teresa’s Hospice for the charity’s annual Midnight Walk!

The women-only event, which takes place on 17th May at Darlington’s South Park, attracts hundreds of entrants from across the region. Securitas, which supplies overnight security for St Teresa’s Hospice, has generously offered to provide security for the event free of charge!

Hospice Director Jane Bradshaw said: “For some time now Securitas have been in charge of overnight Security in our Hospice, and we are delighted that their charity group has donated some lovely officers free of charge to enhance this event and keep it safe!”

Securitas Branch Manager David Bone said: “It’s a pleasure to work in partnership with St Teresa’s Hospice to help the local community. Securitas may be a global company, but we believe in having a local focus, supporting local charities in the communities where our officers live and work.”
