Safe4Summer
The campaign
Safe4Summer is an annual partnership campaign which takes place over the summer months (launched 1st June 2022) – involving Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Police (opens in a new window), Greater Manchester Combined Authority (opens in a new window), local councils, plus others – with the ultimate aim to keep young people safe and provide information to their parents and carers.
This includes direct engagement with young people and providing information to parents and carers. The campaign also promotes and puts emphasis on social responsibility.
