Safe Havens and Safe Spaces
Safe Havens are a way for you to get support from local businesses or places, if you need help.
There are several Safe Havens around the borough. People can go to them if they feel scared or threatened. They are mainly aimed at women and girls to access support if they feel harassed, vulnerable or in need of help, but anyone can use a Safe Haven. It could be a café, library, shop or other local, welcoming place. These spaces offer people a free, confidential safe place when they need it.
They can offer water, electricity, wi-fi or a phone. It can also be a way for people to contact family/friends, or be signposted to transport or support services. Safe Havens can also make phone calls to emergency services on people’s behalf.

Safe Spaces and Ask for ANI
Victims and survivors of domestic abuse or sexual violence can also access Safe Spaces. We understand that many people experiencing abuse will not be able to make a safe phone call from home or on a mobile phone.
Safe Spaces are confidential, private and safe. People can access resources for support, or make a phone call to get help.
Some of the Safe Space locations are part of the ‘Ask for ANI’ (Action Needed Immediately) scheme. This gives people a discreet way to ask for help. If you ask a pharmacy worker to speak to ‘ANI’, they will help you access the Safe Space.
We have 13 Safe Space locations across Harrow. They are mostly in pharmacies and banks. Look out for Safe Space and Ask for ANI posters.
