Feel uncomfortable or unsafe when out in Leeds?
Ask for Angela is here to get discreet help.
The Ask for Angela scheme was founded by Lincolnshire County Council but is now a well-known, nationwide campaign to reduce violence and harassment against women.
Ask for Angela means anyone can say the code word ‘Angela’ to staff in participating venues to signal that they’re in an uncomfortable situation and would like assistance.
This discreetly signals to staff that you feel unsafe or threatened. Trained staff will then be able to offer help, for example calling a taxi or providing a safe space.
Staff have been trained to help, without judgement and will aim to get people out of the situation without too much fuss.
Safer Leeds, working with partners, regularly run test purchase/mystery shopper Ask for Angela checks in registered venues to ensure staff know how to confidently and compassionately respond when someone needs Angela.
