The Worcester Safe Space is a new project under Worcester BID’s program, aimed at providing safer nights for vulnerable individuals. Safe Space was introduced on the 15th of December 2023 and is a mobile van that serves as a haven at night, offering first response first aid care, reducing the strain on the NHS in the A&E department during night-time economy hours. Safe Space provides the support required to assure that the community that use our business centre feel safe and confident in doing so. We work closely with our businesses to ensure that our work assists and elevates operations. Additionally, it provides a space for support and conversation and access to water and clothing if required, ensuring a safe night out in the city. Worcester BID will provide the Safe Space, with support from West Mercia Police, The University of Worcester, Worcester Street Pastors, and other key organisations.
