Good evening Ashton Hurst residents.

 The safety initiative ‘Ask for Angela’ is being rolled out to bars, clubs, and other licensed businesses across Greater Manchester.

People who feel unsafe, vulnerable, or threatened can discreetly seek help by approaching venue staff and asking for ‘Angela’, a fictitious member of staff.

This code-phrase will indicate to staff that they require help with their situation and a trained member of staff will look to support and assist them. This might be through reuniting them with a friend, seeing them to a taxi, or by calling venue security and/or the police.
