In October 2021, PC Ash and Torsif from Preston’s Community Cohesion Team worked in partnership with Disability Equality North West (DENW) to sign up premises in and around Preston to be a ‘safe place’ for those who may be vulnerable.

It ensures these people can access support right away.
Feedback was given about the scheme, and the feedback said that the community wanted to see South Ribble involved in the initiative, so now they are.
25 premises have now been signed up to the scheme in Bamber Bridge, meaning there are over 100 safe spaces across Preston and South Ribble.
