More support for women and girls with seven new Safe Havens

Safe Havens are helping keep Harrow safe. Originally launched to support women and girls, London Borough of Harrow have expanded the scheme from 14 to 21 venues across Harrow. These spaces help anyone feeling scared, harassed or threatened. Whether someone needs to call a taxi, charge their phone, or simply take a moment to feel safe, these spaces are here to help. They are free, confidential spaces and the venues include voluntary groups, libraries, and community hubs ready to offer temporary support.

The Safe Havens are clearly marked with window stickers and offer a welcoming environment to anyone in need, regardless of gender or background. Trained staff can assist with providing a safe space, contacting emergency services or friends/family, or signposting people to local support services. The initiative is part of a broader commitment to tackle harassment and improve public safety, especially for women and girls.
