Safe Places in Sunderland

Updated: 18.9.15

The Safe Place Scheme can help you if you ever feel worried or scared or need a bit of extra help.

You might need support if:

 You are lost

 You have lost something like your wallet

 Someone has stolen something from you

 Someone is bullying you

There are lots of places in and around Sunderland that you can go if you need help. This could be a shop, café or community centre.

You will know they are a Safe Place if they have this logo in their window

We will shortly be producing a map of all Safe Places which will also be available on the internet. This is a list of current Safe Places.
