🌟 Enjoying a Safer Day or Night Out in Wigan & Leigh Whether you’re out for a few hours or planning a big night, here are some simple tips to help you and your friends stay safe — while still having a great time. 🍹 Know What Works for You
You don’t need alcohol to have fun. Lots of places now offer fantastic alcohol‑free drinks that taste great and help you stay in control. 👀 Stay Alert to What’s Going On
Be aware of your surroundings.
Never take drinks from people you don’t know, and if your drink has been left unattended, don’t pick it back up. It’s never worth the risk. 👫 Keep an Eye on Your Friends
Stay together when you can. Check in with each other throughout the outing and make sure everyone gets home safely. 📱 Head Out With a Charged Phone
Make sure your phone is topped up before you leave, and think about carrying a small power bank. It’s important to have access to maps, messages, and help if you need it. 📍 Tell Someone Your Plans
Share where you’re going and how you plan to get home with someone you trust. 🚦 Stick to Busy, Well‑Lit Routes
Whether it’s daytime or night-time, choose areas where there are other people around. 🎒 Protect Your Belongings
Keep your bag closed, valuables out of sight, and be cautious when using your phone in crowded places. đźš• Get Home the Safe Way
Heading home? Use a licensed taxi or another trusted transport option. 🏙️ Support Available Across the Borough
Wigan offers Safety Havens, plus Taxi Marshals and Safety Marshals, to help keep everyone safe.
The Safe Places Scheme is also there day and night if you ever feel unsure, need help, or need somewhere safe to go. 🧡 Look Out for People Around You
If you notice someone who seems vulnerable or in difficulty, let venue staff, marshals, or police know. A small action could make a big difference. ✋ If Trouble Kicks Off… Walk Away
A quick decision can prevent something serious.
One punch can kill — it’s never worth it.
