Supporting Safe Celebrations This World Cup - Join the #WalkAway Campaign

With the excitement of the 2026 World Cup bringing fans together across Derbyshire, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC), in partnership with Derbyshire Constabulary, are encouraging all venues screening matches to help promote a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

We are asking pubs, bars, clubs and community venues to support the #WalkAway campaign - a simple but powerful message that encourages people to step away from confrontation and avoid situations that could escalate into violence.

Football should bring people together, not divide them. By promoting #WalkAway across your venue and social media channels, you can play a key role in reducing alcohol-related incidents and ensuring fans can celebrate safely.
