We love ... Exeter Safe Space which provides free support to people out and about at night time ๐
Located in St. Stephens church on High Street, right at the heart of Exeterโs bustling night scene, the Safe Space is funded by InExeter, the Community Safety Partnership and Safer Streets Fund 4. It is open on Wednesday (term time), Friday and Saturday โfrom 23:00 to 03:30am.
The support service is a warm and welcoming space for people who find themselves in need on a night out in the city. The space serves three main purposes of, light medical treatment (cuts, sprains, recovery, blisters), welfare support (such as phone charging, water, safety alarms, bottle tops, change of clothes) and a safe warm place to wait for night buses, or friends.
Are you keen to get involved and help out or find out more about Exeter Safe Space? Join them for the launch of their volunteering programme on Tuesday 21st February at St Stephenโs Church on Exeter High Street between 18:00 โ 20:00. Information will be provided on what a usual shift looks like as well as what experience you will gain and training available including mental health and safeguarding.
