This is especially important when our own Local Government Association have stated they wish to half Violence against women & Girls within the next 10 years!" Amy Krzykala-Arnold

Callum demonstrated the many features of the app such as location sharing, 24/7 emergency response, an innovative 'fake call' system, a 'walk home' feature which allows you to have someone to talk to as you journey home and more. As a charity who support vulnerable, exploited and coerced women and children, we are incredibly passionate about safety.
