WalkSafe Leeds is a free safety app available nationwide, but they’ve developed Leeds-specific features for users when they’re within a 6km radius of the city centre. Users can share their locations and journeys when out and about with contacts they trust, so that they can get around/get home safely, and when within Leeds they can find Leeds Ask for Angela venues, Women’s Night Safe Space and Street Marshalls.
