Safe Places Shropshire is a network of short-term safe havens across Shropshire, designed to support people who may need additional help or reassurance when out and about in the community.
Our Safe Places offer a welcoming environment for anyone who feels vulnerable, lost, or in need of assistance. Whether you need directions, help contacting someone, or just a safe space to gather yourself, our network is here for you.
