Protecting charity leaders for over 20 years

"I cannot stress enough the importance of implementing a lone worker solution. It is our responsibility not only to ensure the safety of our lone workers but also to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to their welfare."

"Because it's so discreet, it makes me feel a lot more confident and reassured that someone is looking out for me and someone is looking out for the women as well."

"The ongoing commitment and support from SoloProtect is hugely valued by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and all the people we work with, and for."
