ASK FOR ANGELA
If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe when out in the city centre, Ask for Angela to get discreet help.
Leeds City Council are working with Women Friendly Leeds and other partners and venues across the city centre to help keep all people safe when on a night out. Anyone can say the code word ‘Angela’ to staff at participating venues to signal that they’re in an uncomfortable situation and would like assistance.
