Safe Places

Safe Places is a local scheme in Sheffield.  It looks to support adults who may feel vulnerable when they are out and about in Sheffield. If someone needs help they can enter the nearest safe place to get support.  This could be if they are lost, ill or frightened.

Venues taking part will have a “Safe Places” sticker in their windows. There is also a Safe Places app.  This can be voice activated and will direct you to the nearest open Safe Place.
