We attended the LCSU’s freshers’ fair to speak to the student community about The Egalitarian’s Spike Report, Safe Place Project and blog. At the fair we had a stall set up providing information about how to get involved with The Egalitarian community, and chatted with lots of interested students either wanting to contribute as a writer for the blog or hoping to learn more about the work we do.
Following this, we were asked to assist LCSU in making their evening event Belgrave Boogie, held in Leeds City Centre a certified Safe Place. Our experienced and trained team attended as effective allies. Our effective allies provide a safeguarding presence for attendees and staff alike, and the team were able to offer any support needed whilst also being on the lookout for inappropriate and suspicious behaviours. Our effective allies are trained and experienced in identifying, preventing and responding to spiking, sexual violence, hate crimes, domestic violence and other inappropriate behaviours in the night time economy.

'We've trialled working with different safe space projects in the past for gigs, but The Egalitarian was by far the most engaged, friendly and productive organisation I've ever worked with. Their presence at the freshers gig created a warm, safe atmosphere that I think is otherwise difficult to create at a freshers event, where drinking culture is unfortunately heavily encouraged.'

'I would love to bring The Egalitarian in for every future freshers gig, to let students know from their first week that the SU is here to support them, and to encourage them to engage with The Egalitarian and the amazing work they offer.'
