Please find below a copy of the Safe Places Scheme Autumn 2015 newsletter.

The Safe Places scheme is to help vulnerable people when they go out. Sometimes when they go out things can happen and they need help but there is no one around to ask. They might have lost their bus pass or someone has been unkind and they feel upset and afraid. A Safe Place is somewhere they can go to for help if this ever happens.
