About SAFE
Awareness without fear. Empowerment without blame.
SAFE is a community awareness initiative, not a security campaign. We share practical guidance that helps people feel more confident, aware and supported in everyday life.
Why it was created
Too much safety advice puts the burden on the person at risk. SAFE flips that: responsibility for violence always lies with the perpetrator.
What we focus on
Awareness, confidence and community support. Real conversations, real tools, real people looking out for each other.
Launch Day Saturday 16 May 2026
A day of conversations, not commands.
We set up the SAFE tent on the high street, handed out personal safety alarms, and spent the day talking with people, no scripts, no lectures, just listening. Hundreds of leaflets went out, and dozens of one-to-one chats happened along the way.
- SAFE information tent with volunteers all day
- Free personal safety alarms handed to anyone who wanted one
- Safety awareness leaflets, simple language, no scare tactics
- One-to-one guidance for anyone with questions or concerns
Latest SAFE tips
A new piece of guidance every fortnight.
Short, practical, written by the volunteers who walk the streets. Read one, save the page, share it with a friend.

Planning your journey home
Share your route, plan transport in advance, know where the well-lit, busy stops are. Leaving early is always okay. Changing your mind is always okay.

Instincts8 May 2026
Trusting your instincts
If something feels wrong, it probably is. Cross the road, step into a busy shop, call someone, ask staff for help. You owe no one politeness over your safety.

Looking out for friends
Check in on each other. Walk together where possible. A quick text to say you got home matters more than you think.

Bystander awareness
If you see someone uncomfortable, you do not need to confront. Distract, delegate, or simply ask if they are okay. Small actions, big difference.
