W.E.L.Safe CIC is a not for profit organisation delivering welfare and harm reduction support at live events, clubs and festivals, creating non-judgemental safer spaces for all.
W.E.L.Safe will be delivering welfare, ensuring event goers are staying safe and enjoying their experience, by offering a place to chill out and relax, recuperate if under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, get guidance and information around harm reduction, support with mental health at events, a safe space if people are feeling vulnerable and being able to chat with a friendly non-judgemental face.

Our team of volunteers will offer support to people attending every Warehouse Project event who may need a space to recuperate, relax or chat in confidential space away from the busyness of the night.
