🌟 A Safer Day or Night Out in Wigan & LeighWhether you’re heading out for the day or planning a big night out, here are some simple ways to keep yourself and your friends safe — while still having a brilliant time. 🍹 Know Your Limits
You don’t need alcohol to enjoy yourself. Most venues now offer excellent alcohol‑free options that taste great and help you stay in control. 👀 Stay Aware of Your Surroundings
Keep an eye on what’s going on around you.
Never accept drinks from strangers, and if you leave your drink unattended — leave it behind. It’s not worth the risk. 👫 Look Out for Your Mates
Stick together. Check in with each other throughout the day or night and make sure no one gets left behind. 📱 Charge Up Before You Head Out
Make sure your phone is fully charged, and consider carrying a small power bank. It’s important to have access to maps, messages, and emergency help. 📍 Share Your Plans
Let someone you trust know where you’re going and how you’ll be getting home. 🚦 Stay in Busy, Well‑Lit Areas
Whether day or night, choose routes where there are other people around. 🎒 Keep Your Belongings Safe
Keep bags zipped, valuables hidden, and be mindful when using your phone in crowded areas. đźš• Getting Home Safely
Leaving a venue? Always use a registered taxi or a trusted transport service. 🏙️ Support Across the Borough
Wigan has Safety Havens, along with Taxi Marshals and Safety Marshals, to help keep you safe.
The Safe Places Scheme is also there if you ever need support, feel unsure, or need somewhere secure to go — day or night. 🧡 Look Out for Others
If you see someone who looks vulnerable or in difficulty, let venue staff, marshals, or police know. A small action can make a big difference. ✋ If Trouble Starts… Walk Away
A quick decision can change everything.
One punch can kill — it’s never worth it.
