“Founded in 1994, Safeline is a Warwick-based charity that prevents sexual abuse and rape and supports those affected; it is my headline charity for my civic year.

“The evening will celebrate the work the Safeline team does for our community and they’ll be in attendance to talk about the charity’s mission.

“While their work covers a multitude of serious issues, we want the evening to be celebratory in recognition of the 50,000 plus people they have helped.

“Thanks to the generosity of Warwick Castle, the evening will be held after opening hours in the Conservatory I hope you can join me to mark this milestone for an incredible charity.
