The Safe Square service is based at Barker’s Pool and is made up of a Medical Treatment Unit Trailer, a private ambulance, and two heated tents. This combination of facilities offers both medical and welfare assistance to anyone on a night out in Sheffield city centre.
Funded by the South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit (VRU), the Safe Square originally ran for a number of dates earlier this year.
South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard, has provided £8,000 of funding through the Violence Reduction Unit for the Safe Square to run in December, with additional funding provided by Sheffield Business Improvement District.
Over Christmas and New Year, the Safe Square will run from 10:30pm-4:30am on:
Friday 13 December
Saturday 14 December
Friday 20 December
Saturday 21 December
Saturday 28 December
It will also run on New Year’s Eve, from 10pm-4:30am.
