“Since March 2014, we’ve been working with pubs, clubs, bars and venues across London to prevent harassment and create safer nights out. The response has been overwhelming. Now, organisers across the UK and Ireland want to bring Good Night Out to their towns and cities. We’re fundraising £5000 to make this happen – watch our crowd funding campaign video and find out more.
Good Night Out is a pioneering new campaign designed to transform the way pubs, clubs and bars handle harassment and assault at their establishments. We’ve designed a pledge which we invite venues to sign up to, which reads:
‘If something or someone makes you feel uncomfortable, no matter how minor it seems, you can report it to any member of our staff and they will work with you to make sure it doesn’t have to ruin your night.”
Upon signing up to our campaign, all participating businesses
- display our pledge posters informing customers what to expect
- fully brief staff on the new addition to the workplace policy
- have access to our special training workshops for staff
- are named and linked to on the Good Night Out website
- feedback regularly to us for advice and support about dealing with harassers
Since March this year, we’ve worked with venues, pubs bars in clubs ranging from local bars, to 1000+ capacity venues to improve their safety policy. We’ve had 100% positive feedback from the venues we’ve worked with so farwho include Village Underground, Dalston Superstore and Fabric. Since launching, we’ve been inundated with enquiries from organisations and activists across the country who want to see Good Night Out in their area, so we’re working with them to make this happen!

Here are some of the venues we’ve already worked with across London.
We’re now organising with groups around the UK and Ireland from Sheffield to Galway, Glasgow to Kent, Limerick to Oxford, Brighton, Bristol, Norwich, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Coventry and more to get the message out and ensure we have a real impact on the way the nighttime economy deals with harassment, whatever form it takes.”
